Fully Refined Paraffin Wax

Description

1. Product Overview
Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is a high-purity, odorless, and non-toxic hydrocarbon wax derived from meticulously dewaxed petroleum fractions, meeting ASTM D1168 specifications. It is primarily used across candle manufacturing, packaging, rubber, and cosmetics industries as a critical component for gloss, waterproofing, and structural integrity. Its key value proposition lies in delivering consistent melt point, oil content below 0.5%, and superior thermal stability—reducing production waste and ensuring repeatable end-product quality. Strategically, it remains indispensable for global supply chains seeking a reliable, cost-efficient alternative to bio-based or synthetic waxes without compromising performance.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Saturated straight-chain hydrocarbons (C18–C40)

• Purity level / Grade: Fully refined; oil content ≤0.5% (ASTM D721); technical grade / food-grade compliant variants available

• Physical characteristics:

  • Form: White, solid crystalline prills, slabs, or pastilles

  • Color: Saybolt +25 min (ASTM D156)

  • Melting point: 52°C – 64°C (selectable by application)

  • Penetration (25°C): 15–25 mm/10 (ASTM D1321)

  • Density (25°C): 0.88 – 0.92 g/cm³

• Packaging options: 25 kg woven PP bags with PE liner; 50 kg carton boxes; 500–1,000 kg jumbo bags; heat-shrink-wrapped pallets

• Shelf life: 24 months in dry, shaded conditions below 35°C

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Candles & decorative crafts: Produces uniform crystallinity, smooth surface gloss, and excellent fragrance binding—outperforming partially refined waxes by eliminating frost marks and soot.

• Packaging (corrugated board & food containers): Acts as a waterproofing, anti-slip, and scuff-resistant coating. Low viscosity at melt allows precision application, reducing wax usage by 12–18% vs. emulsion alternatives.

• Rubber & tire manufacturing: Serves as an anti-ozonant and processing aid. Its low oil content prevents surface blooming defects, extending component life in harsh environments.

• Cosmetics & pharmaceuticals: Used in ointments, lip balms, and depilatory waxes—non-irritating, oil-free, and USP/NF grades available for regulatory compliance.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch melt point variance <±1.5°C and Saybolt color variance <±2, verified by ISO 17025-certified lab reports.

• Supply reliability: Dedicated refinery output with 25,000 MT/month capacity; safety stock held across 3 regional hubs (Asia, MEA, Europe).

• Logistics capability: Flexible bagging for bulk, break-bulk, or containerized LCL shipping; expedited lead times (as low as 7 days ex-warehouse).

• Price competitiveness: Direct-from-source pricing with no broker markup; volume-based tiered discounts (2–5%) for annual contracts.

• Sustainability: Support for circular economy via closed-loop wax reclamation programs; RSPO-certified renewable blend option available on request.

• Technical support: Full SDS, COA, TDS, and application guides provided; dedicated R&D team for formula integration via Zoom or on-site trials.
