What is Slack Wax 5% Oil Content?

Slack Wax 5% Oil Content is a semi-refined byproduct of petroleum distillation, characterized by a low oil content of approximately 5% and a balanced mix of hydrocarbon chains. This composition provides a melting point range of 50-60°C, excellent moisture resistance, and superior lubrication properties. Unlike fully refined paraffin wax, slack wax retains a small oil content, offering flexibility for applications requiring a balance of rigidity and workability.

Key Properties of Slack Wax 5% Oil Content

• Melting Point: 50-60°C, ideal for controlled processing.

• Oil Content: Approximately 5%, ensuring versatility.

• Viscosity: Moderate, suitable for coatings and polishes.

• Color: Light to pale yellow, aesthetically suitable for various products.

This unique profile makes low oil content slack wax a preferred choice for industries needing durable, multifunctional materials.

Applications and Uses of Slack Wax 5% Oil Content

Slack Wax 5%  is a critical component across multiple sectors due to its adaptability and performance. Below are its primary applications:

1. Candle and Wax Product Manufacturing

Slack wax enhances candle rigidity, improves burn time, and ensures smooth texture. Its low oil content reduces soot, making it ideal for premium candles.

2. Polishes and Coatings

Used as a base for shoe, furniture, and automotive polishes, slack wax provides a glossy finish and moisture resistance. Its lubricity ensures easy application.

3. Rubber and Tire Industry

As a processing aid and anti-ozonant, slack wax protects rubber compounds from cracking and degradation, extending tire lifespan.

4. Corrugated Board and Packaging
