semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% oil content
Description of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% Oil Content
Paraffin wax is mostly found in two types of Fully-refined and Semi-refined, with a typical melting point between about 46 and 68 °C (115 and 154 °F), and a density of around 900 kg/m3. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters. Paraffin is unaffected by most common chemical reagents but burns readily. Its heat of combustion is 42 KJ/g.
Semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% oil content means the slabs can have 5%, 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.5%, 6.2%, 6.8%, 6.9%, 7% oil content, melting point can be minimum 58 °C and maximum 64 °C normally, semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% heavy grade (melting point 62-64 °C) is used in hot weather countries like: south Africa, India, Pakistan, Kenya, UAE, Venezuela, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan, Ghana, Colombia, Brazil, because if light grade paraffin wax 5-7% used in hot weather paraffin will be melted and will make problem for the final product and also in packing and delivery process, leakage can make problem.
Application of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% Oil Content
- Semi-refined Paraffin wax 5-7% oil content commonly used as a lubricant in many cases.
- Paraffin wax 5-7% oil content is used for, anti-oxidation, anti-crack in tire producing and polishing.
- Semi-refined Paraffin wax 5-7% oil content, is used as a friction reducer in cement factories.
- candles; to make candles
- bottles; to seal the top of the bottle by melted wax
- irons; to keep them smooth
- drawers; to lubricate
- handrails-to lubricate, rub the handrails with a bar of wax
- Windows; to keep them opening and closing smoothly
- zippers; to keep them from sticking
- steel or iron; to prevent oxidation
- crayons
Packing of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% Oil Content
Semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% oil content is produced in 5 kg slabs which can be packed in carton or pp (poly propylene) bags. there should be a plastic liner to avoid any leakage, packing of 5-7% paraffin wax is so important because of higher oil content and most of the time it is not so hard, it is like paste and may be damaged during transportation.
