Paraffin Wax (Solid Paraffine)

Paraffin Wax is a high-quality petroleum-derived wax product widely used in various industrial, commercial, and consumer applications due to its excellent water resistance, chemical stability, smooth texture, and controlled melting characteristics. It is produced through the refining and dewaxing process of petroleum fractions, where crude oil derivatives are processed to remove unwanted oils and impurities, followed by filtration, purification, and hydrogenation to achieve different grades of purity and performance. Depending on the refining level and oil content, paraffin wax is commercially available in fully refined, semi-refined, and slack wax forms, each designed for specific industrial requirements. Fully refined paraffin wax is mainly used in sensitive applications requiring higher purity, while semi-refined grades are suitable for general industrial purposes and slack wax is commonly used as a raw material for further processing.

The base classification are 3 types based on the oil :

Fully-refined paraffin wax , it is solid , white . It has a low oil content (less than 0.5%) with a high melting point and good physical stability. Fully-refined paraffin wax is used in food industries , medicine and cosmetics.
Semi-refined paraffin wax , it has oil content from 1 to 7 percent . it is used in paper industries that which gives a gloss, light color, hardness, and transparency to the paper. Other uses are in solid perfumes , Beauty masks, Protective creams for industrial workers , Facial care and beauty products and Hair preparations.
Crude paraffin wax , It has high oil content (more than 7% oil content), and is utilized to make matches, fiberboard, and canvas. It can be widely used in moisture-proof and waterproof packaging paper, cardboard, surface coating of textiles, and candle production.

Common applications for paraffin wax include lubrication, electrical insulation, and candles; dyed paraffin wax can be made into crayons. Food-grade paraffin wax also is available that is used as shiny coating used in candy-making; although edible, it is nondigestible, passing through the body without being broken down. Coating for many kinds of hard cheese, like Edam cheese , Sealant for jars, cans, and bottles and Chewing gum additive.
