Fully Refined Paraffin Wax

Description

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Overview

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is a high-purity petroleum wax produced through advanced refining and hydro-treatment processes. During full refining, oil residues, sulfur compounds, aromatics, and other impurities are almost completely removed, resulting in a white, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert wax with excellent physical stability.

Due to its high level of refinement, Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is widely used in industrial manufacturing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food-related packaging, candle production, rubber processing, and specialty coatings. Its consistent quality, controlled melting behavior, and excellent appearance make it a preferred choice for manufacturers requiring reliable and repeatable performance.

Manufacturing and Refining Process

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is derived from selected petroleum base stocks and undergoes multiple refining stages, including solvent dewaxing and severe hydrogenation. This refining sequence ensures extremely low oil content and excellent resistance to oxidation.

The result is a wax with superior purity, minimal volatility, and high thermal stability, suitable for both industrial and sensitive end-use applications.

Grades of Fully Refined Paraffin Wax

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is not a single grade product. It is classified based on melting point, oil content, and end-use application.

Classification by Melting Point

Common commercial grades include:

• Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 56–58°C
• Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 58–60°C
• Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 60–62°C
• Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 62–64°C
• Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 64–66°C

Higher melting point grades provide increased hardness, better thermal resistance, and improved performance in industrial and structural applications.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is characterized by its high degree of purity, excellent whiteness, and neutral sensory profile. It exhibits a narrow and stable melting range, good hardness, and strong compatibility with polymers, oils, and functional additives. Due to its chemical inertness, it does not react with most formulation components, making it easy to integrate into complex industrial and consumer products.

Its low odor, low volatility, and clean appearance are key reasons why it is preferred in applications where visual quality and product safety are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions Of Fully Refined Paraffin Wax

1.What is Fully Refined Paraffin Wax?

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is a highly purified hydrocarbon wax produced through advanced refining and hydrogenation processes. It contains minimal oil and impurities, making it suitable for applications that require high cleanliness, neutral odor, and stable performance.

2.What is the difference between fully refined and semi-refined paraffin wax?

The main difference lies in oil content and purity. Fully refined paraffin wax has significantly lower oil content, higher whiteness, and better oxidation stability, which allows it to be used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food-related applications, while semi-refined grades are typically limited to industrial uses.

3.What melting point grades are available?

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is available in multiple melting point grades, generally ranging from 56°C to 66°C. The choice of grade depends on the desired hardness, flexibility, and thermal resistance required for the final application.

4.Is Fully Refined Paraffin Wax suitable for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use?

Yes, selected grades of fully refined paraffin wax are suitable for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations due to their high purity, low oil content, and neutral sensory properties, provided they comply with relevant regulatory standards.

5.Can Fully Refined Paraffin Wax be used in food-related applications?

Approved grades of fully refined paraffin wax can be used in food-contact and packaging applications, subject to compliance with international food safety regulations.
