Semi Refined Paraffin Wax

Description

Semi Refined Paraffin Wax – Product Description

Semi Refined Paraffin Wax is a petroleum-based wax produced through controlled refining processes that reduce impurities while maintaining a moderate oil content. This balance between purity and flexibility makes semi refined paraffin wax a cost-effective and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications. Compared to fully refined grades, semi refined paraffin wax offers improved plasticity and adhesion, which is especially beneficial in industries where binding properties, coating performance, and workability are more critical than ultra-high purity. Its stable thermal behavior and consistent melting characteristics allow manufacturers to maintain uniform product quality across large production volumes.

Semi refined paraffin wax is widely used in candle manufacturing, rubber processing, textile treatment, board and paper impregnation, matches, polishes, and various general industrial formulations. Its slightly higher oil content enhances flexibility and surface finish, making it easier to process and mold in demanding production environments.

Key Characteristics and Performance

• Moderate oil content, typically between 1% and 2%, providing improved flexibility and adhesion
• Stable melting point range, commonly 54°C to 60°C, depending on grade
• Good color and appearance with acceptable whiteness for industrial use
• Consistent crystallization behavior for predictable processing
• Reliable performance in coating, impregnation, and molding applications

These properties make Semi Refined Paraffin Wax an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking performance stability without the added cost of fully refined grades.

Applications of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax

Semi refined paraffin wax is extensively used across multiple industries due to its versatility. In candle production, it improves mold release and enhances structural strength. In the rubber and tire industry, it acts as a processing aid and protective agent. Paper and cardboard manufacturers use it for moisture resistance and surface treatment, while textile producers rely on it for yarn lubrication and finishing processes.

Additionally, semi refined paraffin wax plays an important role in industrial polishes, matches, packaging materials, and general wax blending where controlled softness and adhesion are required.

Available Grades and Melting

Points Semi Refined Paraffin Wax is available in multiple grades, classified primarily by melting point and oil content. Common grades fall within the 54–56°C, 56–58°C, and 58–60°C ranges. Selecting the appropriate grade depends on the desired hardness, flexibility, and end-use performance. Lubesta supplies carefully selected grades to ensure consistent quality, batch uniformity, and reliable supply for international customers.
