What is Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 0.5%?

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 0.5% is a high-purity white paraffin wax derived from petroleum through advanced refining processes. The designation “0.5%” refers to the maximum oil content by weight — meaning this wax contains no more than 0.5% residual oil, making it one of the purest grades of refined paraffin wax commercially available.

This ultra-low oil content is achieved through rigorous de-oiling, hydrotreating, and filtration stages that eliminate impurities, sulfur compounds, color bodies, and odor-causing substances. The result is a clean, white, odorless petroleum wax that performs reliably across sensitive and high-specification applications.

Unlike semi-refined paraffin wax (which typically contains 1–3% oil) or slack wax (which may contain 5–35% oil), our paraffin wax 0.5% delivers:

  • Cleaner combustion with minimal smoke and soot
  • Better compatibility with fragrances and dyes
  • Higher structural integrity and hardness
  • Full compliance with FDA and international food-safety regulations

This makes Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 0.5% the preferred choice for manufacturers who prioritize quality, safety, and consistency.


Key Properties and Advantages of Paraffin Wax 0.5%

Our Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 0.5% is engineered to deliver superior performance across multiple parameters. Here is what sets this grade apart:

Ultra-Low Oil Content (≤ 0.5%)

The defining characteristic of this grade. With oil content reduced to a maximum of 0.5%, this low oil paraffin wax produces significantly less smoke, soot, and residue during combustion compared to higher oil-content alternatives. This property is critical for premium candle manufacturing and any application where clean performance matters.

High Melting Point Range (58–62°C)

paraffin wax melting point of 58–62°C provides excellent thermal stability. This means candles maintain their shape in warm climates, coatings resist softening during storage and transit, and cosmetic products retain their texture under varying conditions.

Exceptional Purity — Odorless and Colorless

Our refined paraffin wax undergoes hydrotreating that strips away sulfur, aromatic compounds, and odor bodies. The result is a truly odorless and colorless wax that will not interfere with added fragrances, dyes, or active ingredients in your formulations.

Non-Toxic and FDA Compliant

Safety is non-negotiable. Our paraffin wax 0.5% meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3710 requirements, making it suitable for direct and indirect food contact, pharmaceutical preparations, and personal care products.

Superior Hydrophobic Properties

The natural water-repellent characteristics of petroleum wax make our product ideal for moisture barrier applications in food-grade paper coatings, cardboard packaging, and textile treatments.

Excellent Blendability

This wax blends seamlessly with additives, stearic acid, microcrystalline wax, synthetic waxes, and polymers — giving manufacturers flexibility in creating custom formulations.


How Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 0.5% Is Produced

Understanding the production process helps buyers appreciate the quality difference between our fully refined paraffin wax and lower-grade alternatives. Here is a step-by-step overview:

Step 1 — Crude Oil Distillation

The process begins with the fractional distillation of crude oil. Waxy distillate fractions are separated from lighter and heavier petroleum products at controlled temperatures.

Step 2 — Solvent De-waxing

The waxy distillate undergoes solvent de-waxing (typically using MEK/toluene or similar solvents) to separate the wax crystals from the base oil, producing slack wax as an intermediate product.

Step 3 — De-oiling to 0.5%

This is the critical stage. The slack wax is further processed through advanced sweating or solvent de-oiling methods to reduce oil content from 5–20% down to ≤ 0.5%. This stage is what differentiates fully refined paraffin wax from semi-refined grades.

Step 4 — Hydrotreating (Hydrofinishing)

The de-oiled wax passes through catalytic hydrotreating reactors, where hydrogen removes:

  • Residual sulfur compounds
  • Color-causing impurities
  • Odor-forming molecules
  • Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

This step ensures the wax achieves its characteristic white color, neutral odor, and food-grade safety.

Step 5 — Blending, Forming, and Quality Control

The finished wax is melted, blended to precise specifications, and formed into slabs, pellets, granules, or liquid form based on customer requirements. Every batch undergoes comprehensive laboratory testing against ASTM standards before release.
