High Oil Paraffin Wax

Description

High Oil Paraffin Wax – Industrial Wax with Enhanced Oil Content

High Oil Paraffin Wax is a specialized grade of petroleum wax characterized by a higher residual oil content compared to fully refined and low oil paraffin waxes. This increased oil fraction provides improved flexibility, greater spreadability, and better performance in applications where a softer texture and enhanced lubricity are desired.

High Oil Paraffin Wax is an important industrial material for formulation, blending, and direct use in a variety of manufacturing processes.

Although it shares many base characteristics with other paraffin waxes, High Oil Paraffin Wax is distinguished by its balance between wax rigidity and oil-mediated pliability, making it ideal for applications requiring a combination of softness, workability, and surface performance.

Key Features of High Oil Paraffin Wax

High Oil Paraffin Wax delivers a range of performance benefits:

• Higher oil content enhances spreadability and lubrication
• Offers a softer texture than low oil or fully refined waxes
• Improves adhesion and blendability in compound formulations
• Supports smoother surface appearance in coatings and wax blends
• Helps reduce cracking and brittleness in finished products

With these features, High Oil Paraffin Wax bridges the gap between harder waxes and soft wax-oil blends for a more versatile product.

Typical Uses & Applications

High Oil Paraffin Wax is widely used in industries that demand flexible, oil-enhanced wax properties:

Candle Manufacturing & Wax Blends

This wax improves pliability and surface cohesion in candle blends when used alone or in combination with harder waxes.

Polishes & Surface Coatings

Enhanced oil content increases spreadability, improving the smoothness and finish of polishes for automotive, floor, furniture, and specialty surfaces.

Rubber & Tire Processing

High Oil Wax works as a processing aid in rubber compounding, enhancing flow and fabric consistency during molding and extrusion.

Hot Melt Adhesives & Sealants

Its balanced composition makes it a useful additive for controlled tack, adhesion, and flexibility in hot melt formulations.

Packaging & Paper Applications

Used to improve moisture resistance, flexibility, and surface feel in packaging coatings and paper treatments.

General Industrial Formulations

High Oil Paraffin Wax is ideal for custom compound formulations where workability and softness are prioritized.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1.What distinguishes High Oil Paraffin Wax from Low Oil Wax?
High Oil Paraffin Wax contains a larger percentage of residual mineral oil, giving it a softer texture and greater workability. Low Oil Wax is harder and better suited where dimensional stability is essential.

2.Can High Oil Paraffin Wax be blended with other waxes?
Yes, it is ideal for blending with harder waxes and additives to achieve specific processing or performance targets.

3.Is High Oil Paraffin Wax suitable for candle making?
Yes. When blended appropriately, it can improve surface quality and burn performance in candles.

4.How should High Oil Paraffin Wax be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and contamination. Keep packaging sealed when not in use.
