Paraffin waxes are separated from crude oil during the production of light (distillate) lubricating oils. The categorization of each wax corresponds to degree of wax refinement, and the various steps are as follows: slack wax, scale wax, semi refined paraffin wax, and finally fully refined paraffin wax. Semi refined paraffin waxes contain less than 1.5% oil compared to fully refined paraffin which typically contains less than 0.5% oil content. This waxes have water-like clarity (especially in thin films) and are odorless and have melting points spanning low, medium, and high temperatures. They consist predominantly of long straight chain hydrocarbons and are crystalline in structure, with molecular weights ranging from 360 to 420, with an average carbon content of 26 to 30 atoms. Semi Refined waxes are inert, insoluble in water and alcohol, and only slightly soluble in absolute alcohol.

Semi refined paraffin waxes are White, odorless, tasteless. Melting point range: I30Â°F (55Â°C) to I50Â°F (65Â°C).

Uses for Semi-refined Paraffin Wax:

Semi Refined Paraffin for Candles, torches, tapers, matches, floor polishes
Paraffin Wax Semi Refined for Car polishes, corrosion protectors
Paraffin Wax for Electrical industries, cable filling compounds
Waxes for Tires and rubber products, as ozone protection
Paraffin Wax Semi Refined for Paper production
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax for Carbon paper, crayons and pencils
