light grade (melting point 58-60 c) oil max 7 is used in mild and cold weather countries like : Ukraine , Turkey , Germany , England , Russia , France , Italy , Norway , Nether land , Finland , Switzerland , Sweden Denmark , Canada , Australia , New Zealand .
Since congealing point is about 2 degree lower than melting point, in light grade congealing of paraffin especially in candle needs lower weather degree.
it is used in hot weather countries like : South Africa , India, Pakistan , Kenya , UAE , Venezuela , Thailand , Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq , Bahrain , Jordan , Ghana , Colombia , Brazil ,because if light grade used in hot weather paraffin will be melted and will make problem for the final product and also in packing and delivery process, leakage can make problem.
