Low Oil Paraffin Wax – Product Description
Low Oil Paraffin Wax is a refined paraffin wax characterized by a very low oil content, typically below 0.5%, positioning it between Semi Refined Paraffin Wax (SRPW) and Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (FRPW). This type of paraffin wax is specifically developed for applications that require higher purity, improved hardness, better surface finish, and reduced odor, while still maintaining good processability and cost efficiency. Low Oil Paraffin Wax offers a cleaner appearance and more stable physical properties compared to standard semi-refined grades.
Its reduced oil content results in enhanced rigidity, better gloss, and improved thermal stability, making it suitable for applications where product aesthetics and performance consistency are critical. Because of these characteristics, Low Oil Paraffin Wax is widely used in both industrial and consumer-facing products.
Physical and Chemical Characteristics Low Oil Paraffin Wax
Low Oil Paraffin Wax demonstrates excellent uniformity in melting behavior and solidification structure. The low residual oil level improves crystallinity, which directly contributes to better hardness and shape retention. These properties allow manufacturers to achieve consistent results during molding, coating, and impregnation processes.
The wax typically appears white to off-white, with minimal odor and controlled translucency. Its chemical stability ensures resistance to oxidation and degradation during storage and use, even in demanding production environments.
Grades and Melting Point Range
Low Oil Paraffin Wax is available in multiple grades, typically categorized by melting point ranges such as 56–58°C, 58–60°C, and 60–62°C. Selection of the appropriate grade depends on the required hardness, application temperature, and processing method.
Lubesta offers carefully controlled Low Oil Paraffin Wax grades designed to meet international quality expectations and industrial performance standards.
Industrial Applications of Low Oil Paraffin Wax
Low Oil Paraffin Wax is commonly used in applications where a balance between purity and performance is required.
Candle manufacturing: improves burn quality, surface smoothness, and structural integrity.
Packaging and paper industries: provides effective moisture barriers and clean coatings without excessive oil migration.
Rubber compounding, hot-melt formulations, polishes, cosmetics intermediates, and industrial wax blends: low oil content ensures compatibility with additives and pigments, resulting in stable and visually consistent end products.
Packaging and Supply
Low Oil Paraffin Wax is supplied in solid slabs, blocks, or pellets, depending on customer requirements. Standard packaging includes carton-packed slabs or palletized units suitable for international shipping and long-term storage.
Storage and Handling
To maintain quality, Low Oil Paraffin Wax should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper handling prevents surface contamination and preserves physical properties throughout its shelf life.
