PW — Grade 03
Paraffin Wax
High-quality semi-refined and fully refined paraffin wax for industrial, manufacturing and commercial applications.
Overview
Paraffin wax is a refined petroleum-derived wax characterized by its crystalline structure, controlled melting range and consistent performance. It is solid and translucent at ambient temperature and becomes a clear liquid when melted. Produced through the controlled refining of slack wax, paraffin wax is available in different oil-content grades to meet varying industrial requirements. Key characteristics include controlled melting properties, low oil content, good stability and reliable processing performance.
