Description of Fully Refined paraffin wax 0.5% oil content
paraffin wax 0.5% oil content is a type of petroleum byproduct. It is refined using a stringent procedure that removes contaminants and oil content to less than 0.5%, leaving it colorless, odorless, and hard.
This sort of paraffin wax is classified as fully refined paraffin wax and is also known as crystal paraffin wax in the market. The major ingredient of paraffin wax 0.5% is heavy slack wax, and the final product will be obtained through the sweetening process. Paraffin wax 0.5% oil is translucent, white, too hard, and odorless.
it has a high melting point, oil content, and lacks cohesion at room temperature. It is also waterproof, moisture-proof, and provides superior electrical insulation.
Fully refined paraffin wax is soluble in benzene, ether, chloroform, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, turpentine oil, and fixed oils.
It has a well-defined crystal structure and is hard and brittle in appearance. It is physically stable and does not distort readily.
Application of paraffin wax 0.5% oil content
Paraffin wax 0.5% is used in cosmetics to create lotions, skin masks, mascara, lip and chap sticks. Food industries to include baking/frying oils, chocolates, and fruit polishing. Additionally, paraffin wax 0.5% is used to create candles and sculptures.
Paraffin applications are as follows:
- Candles
- Wax blends and emulsions
- Cosmetic formulations
- Polishes and paste waxes
- PVC extrusion lubricants
- Sun-checking waxes for rubber and tires
- Paper converting
- Adhesives
- Crayons
Packing
Fully refined paraffin wax 0.5% is produced in 5 kg slabs which can be packed in carton or gunny and there is the possibility of palatalizing too.
Specification
Fully refined paraffin wax grades are analyzed based on raw material specifications. If the raw material is light, the paraffin wax falls into the light grade group; if the raw material is heavy, the paraffin wax falls into the heavy grade category. We create all grades of paraffin wax using sophisticated refining systems such as sweating and jack presses.
