Fully refined paraffin wax 0.5% oil content
Description of fully refined paraffin wax 0.5% oil content
Paraffin waxes are derived from crude oil during the production of light (distillate) lubricating oils. These waxes are categorized by oil content and the degree of refinement. The crudest versions fall into the slack wax category and contain between 5% to 20% oil.
Next on the step of refinement are scale waxes containing between 0.5% to 5% oil. The highest grade of refinement is the fully refined wax. Fully refined paraffin waxes contain less than 0.5% (0.8% for the high welted products) oil and have been hydrotreated or clay treated to remove impurities and decoloration. The resulting waxes are water clear, odorless, and normally food grade.
Fully refined paraffin wax below 0.5% oil content is the best and most expensive grade of paraffin wax used in cosmetics or medical and oily papers, it is hard not easy to break, extra white, odorless, transparent and also food industry.
Lipstick, cream, oily papers, chocolate are the most usage of fully refined paraffin In other fields of industry like candle making is also possible to use fully refined paraffin wax and the quality will be great.
RAHA Company guaranty the quality of fully refined paraffin 0.5% oil content with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity of the fully refined paraffin wax 0.5% oil content during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping.
RAHA Company guaranty the quality to meet with ASTM.
