Fully refined paraffin wax less than 1% oil content

Paraffin Wax is a solid substance derived from either one of Petroleum, Coal, or Shale. It constitutes of a mixture of Hydrocarbon molecules with anywhere between twenty and forty Carbon atoms. It has a very unreactive nature. Fully Refined Paraffin Wax contains less than 1% Oil and are made free of impurities and decolouration by hydro-treating or clay-treating them. As the refine grade of Paraffin Wax goes down, the Oil content increases up to 1.5%.

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is free of water and odour and is deemed a food grade substance. It has a clearly defined crystal structure and is hard and brittle in appearance. It has good physical stability and cannot be deformed easily.

Fully refined paraffin wax soluble in: benzene, Ether, chloroform, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, turpentine oil, oil, fixed oils.

The RAHA Paraffin line offers fully refined paraffin waxes with low-, mid- and high-range melting points. They are translucent crystalline material in the solid state and a water white, low viscosity, clear liquid when molten. RAHA Paraffin products are derived from petroleum via a carefully controlled refining process and are primarily comprised of straight chain normal paraffin hydrocarbons, which impart excellent gloss and water repellent properties.

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Usage

Three major industries that use Fully Refined Paraffin Wax are the Cosmetics, Medical, and Food Industries. The Candle Making Industry also uses Fully Refined Paraffin Wax less than 1% oil content. Common items manufactured that use Paraffin Wax are Lipsticks, Cream, Oily Papers, and Chocolate. Candles made using Fully Refined Paraffin Wax are of the highest grade and are the most expensive.

It is also used for Lubrication applications and for Electrical Insulation. Plastic Bottle Cap Liners are made using Paraffin Wax. These liners form watertight seals to prevent water from leaking out when the bottle is overturned. Chewing Gum bases contain Paraffin Wax because it helps to bind the ingredients in chewing gum and to impart it with ‘chew’ characteristics.

Paraffin Wax is also used in pigment binders for manufacture of Crayons by serving as a medium to transfer the pigment in crayon to the desired substrate.
