Paraffin Wax ( Solid & Liquid)

Paraffin wax is a soft colorless solid derived from petroleum, coal or shale oil that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms.
It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F), and its boiling point is above 370 °C (698 °F).Common applications for paraffin wax include lubrication, electrical insulation, and candles;dyed paraffin wax can be made into crayons. It is distinct from kerosene and other petroleum products that are sometimes called paraffin.

Liquid paraffin, also known as paraffinum liquidum or Russian mineral oil, is a very highly refined mineral oil used in cosmetics and medicine. Cosmetic or medicinal liquid paraffin should not be confused with the paraffin used as a fuel.
Liquid paraffin is mainly used as a lubricant in various industrial settings. It can be used to lubricate blades that cut paper and in mechanical mixing.

Application of liquid Paraffin:

The uses of liquid paraffin in the textile industry mostly involve lubrication. Liquid paraffin is an oil component used for spinning, weaving and meshing materials

Paraffin Wax is a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between 46-68 °C. The feedstock for paraffin is slack wax, which is a mixture of oil and wax, a byproduct from the refining of lubricating oil.

Paraffin Wax has a variety of practical uses in industries such as medicine, water proof fabric, paper, match, agriculture and cosmetics. The most usage of Paraffin is in candle industry.

Types of Paraffin wax:
The paraffin wax is produced in types of Solid (Fully & Semi) Liquid & Jelly.

(Semi Refined Grades):

0/5-1 % Wax
1-2 % Wax
3-5 % Wax
5-7 % Wax
7-10 % Wax

Liquid Paraffin Grades:
Pharmaceutical
Industrial
Cosmetic

Packing: Solid in Slab (5 Kg each) & in Carton (20 to 30 Kg each), Liquid in new steel drum.

Semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content heavy grade means the slabs of paraffin wax can have 3% , 3.2% , 3.3% , 3.5% , 4.2% , 4.8% , 4.9% , 5% oil content, melting point of semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content heavy grade should be minimum 62 c and maximum 64 c , semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% heavy grade is used in hot weather countries because if light grade used in hot weather.Paraffin will be melted and will make problem for the final product and also in packing and delivery process, leakage can make problem .

Semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content heavy grade is the most common grade for candle making especially in India and Pakistan .
Semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content light grade , melting point should be minimum 58 c and maximum 60 c.
Semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% light grade is used in mild and cold weather countries.

semi-refined paraffin wax in different shapes such as Granule, Slab, Powder, and flakes. Fully and Semi-refined types have differences in the oil content and usage. In general, it is so useful in our daily life. Candles, solid ink copy paper, batteries, oily papers, and crayons are all produced by paraffin wax. Fully-refined type has 0.1% to 0.5% oil content. It is the best grade in cosmetics and other fields. Fully-refined one is a tough, unscented, white and transparent

paraffin wax Application: Candles, Match sticks, Tires, cosmetics, wooden boards, Tarpaulin, etc.

Benefits:

Low oil content
High melting point
