Fully Refined Paraffin Wax
Fully refined paraffin wax is a type of paraffin wax that has undergone extensive refining processes to remove impurities and unwanted components. It is a white, odorless solid with a high melting point. Fully refined paraffin wax is known for its excellent clarity, stability, and consistency, making it suitable for various applications such as candles, cosmetics, and food coatings.
This product is a fully refined paraffin wax obtained by using oily wax as raw material, sweating or solvent deoiling, and then hydrogenation refining or clay refining.

Applications:
Fully refined paraffin wax finds numerous applications across various industries. Here are some common uses:
- Candle Making: It is widely used in candle manufacturing. It serves as the primary ingredient, providing the base material for candle production. It offers excellent burning characteristics, such as a steady flame, minimal soot emission, and longer burn times.
- Packaging Industry: Paraffin wax is used in the packaging industry for coating or laminating paper and cardboard. This wax coating helps improve the moisture resistance and durability of the packaging materials, making them suitable for protecting food items, pharmaceuticals, and other products.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: It is used in the formulation of various cosmetic and personal care products, including lip balms, creams, ointments, and lotions. It helps provide texture, stability, and consistency to these products while offering emollient and moisture-locking properties.
- Food Industry: Paraffin wax is used in certain food-related applications. It can be used for coating fruits and vegetables to enhance their shelf life and appearance. Additionally, it is used in the production of food-grade wrappers, such as cheese coatings or candy wrappers.
- Rubber and Tire Industry: Paraffin wax is employed as an ingredient in rubber and tire manufacturing processes. It acts as a lubricant, dispersing agent, and processing aid during the production of rubber compounds, improving flowability and reducing friction.
Major Applications
Oil Seals and Gaskets:
TBBS is employed in the production of rubber seals and gaskets for applications where oil resistance and sealing properties are critical, such as in automotive engines.
