Primary Industrial Applications & Uses
This grade of paraffin wax is a fundamental component in numerous industries due to its versatility and reliable performance.
-
Candle Manufacturing: The preferred candle wax for producing pillar, container, and molded candles. It offers excellent fragrance and color retention, with minimal soot and smoke.
-
Packaging & Paper Coating: Used as a paper coating wax to impart water resistance and a high-gloss finish for food packaging, cardboard, and other paper products.
-
Rubber & Tire Industry: Acts as a protective agent in rubber processing, preventing ozone cracking and extending the life of tires and rubber components.
-
Matchstick & Crayon Production: Its consistent melting point and non-toxic nature make it ideal for matchstick dipping and as a base for crayons.
-
Wood & MDF Polishing: A key ingredient in polishes and coatings for wood and MDF boards, enhancing appearance and providing a protective layer.
-
Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a plasticizer and modifier in hot-melt adhesives, improving flexibility and durability.
Grade Classification: Heavy vs. Light Paraffin Wax
We supply two main grades to meet specific industrial needs:
Heavy Grade Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax
This grade features a higher melting point (62°C – 64°C) and greater rigidity.
-
Best For: High-quality pillar candles, industrial coatings, tire manufacturing, and export to warmer climates.
-
Benefits: Superior thermal resistance, excellent structural stability, and a glossy finish.
Light Grade Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax
This grade has a lower melting point (58°C – 60°C) and is more pliable.
-
Best For: Container candles, flexible paper coatings, crayons, and cost-sensitive applications.
-
Benefits: Easier to process, blends well with additives, and ideal for automated production lines.

Absolutely. Our semi-refined paraffin wax, especially the Heavy Grade, is highly effective in rubber and tire manufacturing. It acts as an ozone protectant. During the vulcanization process, the wax migrates to the rubber’s surface, forming a thin, invisible barrier that prevents ozone in the atmosphere from contacting and cracking the rubber, thereby significantly extending the product’s lifespan.
Our strategic location and established export infrastructure are key advantages. ZÜMRÜT International operates major shipping hubs from Turkey and the UAE, ensuring efficient and cost-effective logistics to markets in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. We handle all export documentation and offer flexible packaging (slabs, granules, pallets) to optimize container space and ensure your bulk orders arrive on time and in perfect condition.
As a supplier, we guarantee consistency through rigorous quality control. Every shipment of our semi-refined paraffin wax meets precise specifications for oil content and melting point. This ensures uniform fragrance throw, consistent color dispersion, and reliable burning performance in your production lines, batch after batch. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every order for your verification.
This specific grade offers the ideal balance between performance and cost-efficiency. The 1-2% oil content provides excellent plasticity and binding properties for easier candle making and rubber processing, while still ensuring a high melting point for thermal stability and a clean burn. It is more refined than slack wax but more economical than fully refined grades, making it the most versatile choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
