Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% Overview

For heavy industries where maximum workability and oil retention are critical, Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% is the material of choice. Unlike lower-oil grades engineered for structural rigidity, this specific high-oil variant offers exceptional pliability and emulsion stability.

As a dedicated supplier of specialized petroleum waxes, we understand that standard solutions often fail in complex applications. Whether you are managing match production or lubricant manufacturing, your process demands a wax that behaves more like a “solid oil.” Our global network ensures you receive consistent, high-performance wax optimized for these unique industrial challenges.

Understanding Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10%

Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% represents the highest oil content category of partially refined petroleum waxes. It is engineered specifically for applications requiring flexibility rather than hardness.

This grade is intentionally softer than its semi-refined paraffin wax 3–5% counterparts. While this makes it unsuitable for standard candle manufacturing, it makes the product indispensable for industrial processes requiring deep penetration and malleability.

Technical Specifications by Grade

To help you select the right product, we categorize our supply into two distinct technical grades:

Primary Applications: Where High-Oil Wax Excels

Our clients choose Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% because it solves specific chemical and physical challenges that drier waxes cannot address.

Matchstick & Firelighter Production

This sector is the dominant consumer of high-oil wax. Manufacturers require a wax that penetrates wood deeply and aids in combustion. The 8–9% oil content allows the wax to soak into matchstick heads and box strikers effectively, ensuring reliable ignition.

• Safety Note: As a responsible supplier, our match grade includes a flash point specification of ≥190°C to meet safety compliance.

Lubricants & Greases

In open-gear lubricants and cable filling compounds, persistent lubrication is key. The structure of this soft petroleum wax prevents oil leakage while allowing migration to friction surfaces. Technical tests show this grade offers superior performance in high-load applications compared to drier waxes.

Dust Suppression & Anti-Caking

Mines and quarries utilize Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% to coat aggregate materials. The softer texture creates a durable micro-film that traps dust without cracking. We can supply this in pulverized form (granules) for easy application via rotary spreaders.

Explosives & Pyrotechnics

In dynamite and fireworks, wax acts as both a fuel and a binder. The 7–10% oil content provides the necessary plasticity for pressing, ensuring a controlled burn rate.

Why Partner with Us as Your Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% Supplier?

Sourcing high-oil wax comes with logistical challenges, primarily regarding stability and transport. Our industrial wax distributor network has developed proprietary protocols to mitigate these risks.

Oil Migration Control Technology

High-oil waxes are prone to surface “bleeding.” Unlike commodity traders, we treat our grades with a 0.1% migration inhibitor. This additive reduces surface oiling by up to 60% during storage, a critical feature for clients in humid climates.

Specialized Packaging for Soft Waxes

Standard cardboard often fails when containing high-oil wax. To prevent carton saturation and collapse, we utilize:

• Oil-Proof Inner Wrap: Triple-layer nylon-polyethylene film.

• Reinforced Cartons: 7-layer corrugated cardboard (vs. the standard 5-layer).

• Stacking Protocols: Pallets are limited to 36 cartons to prevent slab deformation.

Supply Chain Resilience

For clients facing import restrictions or complex logistics, our chemical distribution team offers triangular shipping and full documentation support. We maintain consignment stock in key hubs like Dubai and Rotterdam to ensure a 30-day delivery timeline.

Storage and Handling Protocols

Because Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 7–10% oxidizes faster than fully refined options, proper storage is vital to maintain quality.

• Temperature Control: Store below 25°C (77°F) to prevent slabs from merging.

• Ventilation: Ensure air circulation to prevent the buildup of oil vapors.

• Shelf Life: We recommend usage within 18 months of manufacture. Our batches include a 0.15% BHT antioxidant boost to maximize this lifespan.
