Waxes
Paraffin wax is obtained from petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. It is used in candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators. It assists in extracting perfumes from flowers, forms a base for medical ointments, and supplies a waterproof coating for wood.
Slack Paraffin Wax
Slack wax is the crude wax produced by chilling and solvent filter-pressing wax distillate. There are basically three types of slack wax produced, the type depending on the viscosity of the lube oil being dewaxed: low neutral, medium neutral, and heavy neutral
Fully Refined & Semi Refined Paraffin Wax
Fully refined waxes are derived from petroleum via a carefully controlled refining process and are primarily comprised of straight chain normal paraffin hydrocarbons, which impart excellent gloss and water repellent properties.
Semi Refined Paraffin wax contains less than 1.8% oil content as compared to Fully Refined Paraffin wax which contains less than 0.8% oil content. Melting Point for semi refined wax is 58 – 60 degrees Celsius. It is water-resistant, odor free, and usually food-grade.
