Introduction: Defining the 5-7% oil Content

Semi-refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% is a high-demand petroleum wax commodity chemical, recognized globally for its ideal cost-to-performance ratio. This specific grade is defined by its moderate oil content, strictly maintained between 5.0% and 7.0%. This precise formulation ensures that the wax is highly pliable and easier to incorporate into complex formulations than lower oil content alternatives, while still possessing superior purity compared to crude slack wax.

Known for its smooth consistency, excellent binding properties, and consistent melting point range (58-64 °C), this versatile feedstock is a foundation for critical products across the rubber, packaging, and candle manufacturing sectors. The 5-7% grade offers manufacturers a cost-effective material without compromising essential functional performance.

Production and Quality Control

The creation of high-quality Semi-refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% is a controlled, multi-stage refining process designed to achieve specific rheological properties:

1. Distillation & Dewaxing: Crude lubricating oil fractions are separated and chilled, facilitating the crystallization of the raw wax.

2. Precision Deoiling: Solvents are introduced to meticulously extract excess oil, ensuring the final product meets the precise 5-7% oil content target. This step directly dictates the wax's final hardness and flexibility.

3. Hydrotreating: Impurities, sulfur compounds, and aromatics are removed through advanced hydrogen treatment, resulting in a stable, virtually odorless, and high-purity industrial wax.

4. Standardization: The wax is carefully blended to standardize critical properties, including viscosity and specific melting point ranges, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency for industrial clients.

Core Industrial Applications

The moderate oil content and flexibility of Semi-refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% make it indispensable across diverse manufacturing lines:

• Candle Manufacturing: This is a primary use. The wax provides consistent burn characteristics and excellent mold release, making it suitable for both container and utilitarian candle raw materials.

• Rubber & Tire Industry: Functions as a critical processing aid and anti-ozonant. Its unique composition allows the wax to migrate to the surface of rubber compounds, forming a protective barrier against atmospheric ozone and cracking.

• Protective Packaging: Applied as a robust coating to paper, cardboard, and corrugated materials to impart superior moisture resistance and sealing capabilities.

• Polishes and Coatings: Used in the formulation of high-quality floor, shoe, and furniture polishes, delivering water repellency and a high gloss finish.

• PVC & Blending: Acts as an external lubricant in PVC manufacturing, improving melt flow and preventing material sticking during extrusion.

Grade Comparison: 5-7% vs. 3-5% Oil Content

While both are Semi-refined Paraffin Wax, the small variation in oil content dictates crucial performance characteristics:

The 5-7% grade is superior when flexibility and budget optimization are the primary drivers, while the 3-5% grade is chosen when superior structure and minimal surface oil are non-negotiable.
