Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 3-5%

 

Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 3-5% Oil Content Definition

This type of paraffin wax, identifying by semi refined paraffin wax category. The main ingredient of, 3-5% semi refined 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 3-5%, between 58 to 65°C. Petroleum wax 3-5% 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.

Since the congealing point is about 2 degrees lower than the melting point, in light grade congealing of paraffin especially in candle needs lower weather degree.

There are 2 grades of this Wax : Light grade & Heavy grade

Semi-refined petroleum wax with 3-5% oil is indeed available in two grades: Light grade and Heavy grade.

  • Light grade: This grade has a lower oil content and is relatively softer compared to the heavy grade. It’s often preferred for applications where a softer wax is required, such as in candle making or certain coating applications.
  • Heavy grade: This grade has a higher oil content and is firmer compared to the light grade. It’s typically used in applications where a harder wax is needed, such as in certain industrial processes or as an additive in certain products.

ZUMRUT KIMYA guaranty the quality of semi refined petroleum wax 3-5% oil with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity of the semi-refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. ZUMRUT  KIMYA guarantees the quality to meet with ASTM

Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 3-5% Oil Content Application

Semi-refined petroleum wax with 3-5% oil finds application in various industries:

  1. Candle Making: Both light and heavy grades are used in candle making due to their ability to hold fragrance and color additives well.
  2. Packaging: It can be used for coating paper or cardboard in packaging to improve moisture resistance.
  3. Rubber and Tire Industry: Semi-refined paraffin wax is used as an ingredient in rubber and tire manufacturing processes to enhance flexibility and reduce stickiness.
  4. Cosmetics: It’s used in cosmetic products such as creams, lotions, and lipsticks as a thickening agent and to improve texture.
  5. Textiles: In textile industries, it’s used for fabric finishing, providing stiffness and water resistance.
  6. Woodworking: It’s used as a lubricant and protective coating for woodworking tools and as a component in wood finishes.
  7. Electronics: In electronics manufacturing, it’s used as a component in certain potting compounds and sealants.
  8. Food Industry: It can be used as a coating for fruits and vegetables to prolong shelf life and enhance appearance.

These are just a few examples, as semi-refined paraffin wax has diverse applications across various industries.

Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 3-5% Oil Content CHARACTERISTICS

Semi-refined petroleum wax with 3-5% oil exhibits the following characteristics:

  • Consistency: It has a moderate consistency, neither too hard nor too soft, making it versatile for various applications.
  • Color: It typically has a slightly yellowish or off-white color due to the presence of impurities and the oil content.
  • Texture: The texture can range from relatively smooth to slightly grainy, depending on the refining process and the specific grade (light or heavy).
  • Melting Point: Semi-refined paraffin wax usually has a melting point ranging from around 55°C to 65°C (131°F to 149°F), depending on the oil content and grade.
  • Odor: It may have a mild characteristic odor, which is usually not strong or unpleasant.
  • Flexibility: It exhibits good flexibility, which makes it suitable for applications where some degree of pliability is required.
  • Compatibility: It is compatible with a wide range of additives and materials, allowing for easy customization for specific applications.
  • Water Resistance: It offers moderate water resistance, making it suitable for applications where protection against moisture is important but not critical.

Advantages of Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax (3–5% Oil Content)

  1. Cost-Effectiveness:
    More affordable compared to low-oil grades, making it suitable for large-scale applications.
  2. Versatility:
    Works well in applications where slight softness or flexibility is advantageous.
  3. Ease of Processing:
    Suitable for molding, coating, and blending due to its balanced oil content.
