Overview
Why Paraffin Wax Remains the #1 Choice for Candle Manufacturers
Paraffin wax is the most widely used wax in candle manufacturing worldwide, and for good reason. Derived from petroleum refining, it offers a consistent, controllable burn, excellent fragrance retention, and outstanding compatibility with dyes and additives — all at a competitive cost compared to soy or beeswax alternatives.
At Zumrut International, we supply fully refined and semi-refined paraffin wax specifically suited for candle production. Our grades cover the full melting point spectrum from 52°C to 62°C, enabling manufacturers to produce container candles, pillar candles, votive candles, and novelty candles from a single supplier.
With direct sourcing from refineries in Turkey and the UAE, we offer FOB and CFR pricing, SGS-certified quality reports, and flexible packaging in slabs, granules, or pellets — ready for immediate shipment.
