Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 1-3% Oil Content Definition
Semi-refined Petroleum wax 1-3% oil refers to a type of petroleum wax that has undergone partial refinement, leaving a small percentage of oil content within the wax. This oil content typically falls within the range of 1% to 3%. The presence of oil can affect the properties of the wax, such as its melting point, hardness, and texture, making it suitable for specific applications where these properties are desirable.
paraffin wax is light or heavy slack wax. Heavy or light slack waxes as raw material have impression on melting point of semi refined petroleum wax 1-3%, between 58 to 65°C. Paraffin 1-3% oil is transparent, white, too hard, non-odor. This differences allow to the customers to choose inquired paraffin wax according to its own country temperature and location.
There are 2 grades of this Wax : Light grade & Heavy grade
- The Light grade is for use in mild and cold weather countries such as Russia, China, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, Iceland, Ukraine, Australia, Malta, Equador, Spain.
- The Heavy grade is for use in south America (Brazil, Colombia and…) and middle east countries(Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Emirates and….) and generally in countries with hot weather.

- Pharmaceuticals: Utilized in the production of ointments, creams, and medicinal preparations due to its stability, purity, and ability to create smooth and spreadable formulations.
- Food Packaging: Applied as a coating or sealant for food packaging materials to improve moisture resistance and provide a protective barrier.
- Rubber Processing: Used as a processing aid in rubber manufacturing to improve mold release, reduce tackiness, and enhance the flow properties of rubber compounds.
- Adhesives and Sealants: Incorporated into formulations of adhesives and sealants to adjust viscosity, improve tackiness, and enhance bonding properties.
- Textile Industry: Employed as a lubricant and sizing agent in the textile industry to improve yarn cohesion, reduce friction, and enhance weaving efficiency.
- Paper Coating: Applied as a coating on paper and cardboard to enhance moisture resistance, improve printability, and provide a glossy finish.
Packing of Semi refined Petroleum wax 1-3% oil content
Regular packing in ZUMRUT Int Kimiya Co is carton boxes. The products are produced in 5 Kg slabs. Each slab is put in the nylon bag and each 5 slabs are put in 1 carton boxes. Carton boxes are hard enough not to get damage because of their 5 hard layers.
We can also print or attach your brand on carton boxes. It is also possible to provide waterproof PP bags and gunny for esteemed client. Gunny is not suitable for hot season because of oil leakage. But in other seasons it is common to use it.
