Semi Refined Paraffin Wax

Semi Refined Paraffin Wax is a petroleum-derived mixture of straight-chain alkanes primarily used as a solidifying agent and surface modifier. This wax grade typically contains 70-85% paraffin content with a melting point range of approximately 50-60°C, making it suitable for processes requiring moderate hardness and melting characteristics. Finstar supplies this wax as white to off-white solid flakes or slabs, enabling easy melting and blending in industrial formulations. Available in bulk packaging such as 25 kg bags and drums, this wax supports streamlined handling and storage. Buyers should ensure storage in cool, dry, and well-ventilated environments away from ignition sources and incompatible materials like strong oxidizers. Typical dosing in candle manufacturing ranges from 70% to 90% of product weight depending on the formulation. Understanding paraffin wax's compatibility and melting profile is essential for optimizing product quality and processing efficiency.

In candle manufacturing, maintaining optimal hardness and burn time is crucial; semi refined paraffin wax provides a balance of these properties at an accessible cost point. Its melting point and crystallinity influence mold release and finished product performance, factors that affect operational throughput and customer satisfaction. For other uses like cosmetics and printing, semi refined wax enhances texture and surface properties, ensuring smooth coatings and stable formulations. Handling a wax grade that consistently meets these specifications reduces production variability and waste, directly impacting operational reliability.
