Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% Oil Content Definition
Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7%Oil , identifying by semi refined paraffin wax category. The main ingredient of, 5-7% semi refined Petroleum 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 5-7%, between 58 to 65°C. Petroleum Wax 5-7% 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
Semi-refined Petroleum Wax with 5-7% 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.
