Semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% oil content
Description of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% Oil Content Light & Heavy Grade
In semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% oil content light or heavy grade, the slabs of paraffin can have 5% , 5.2% , 5.3% , 5.4% , 5.7% , 5.8% , 5.9% , 6% , 6.3% , 6.6% , 6.9% , 7% oil content melting point of semi refined paraffin 5-7% light grade can be minimum 58 c and maximum 60 c and in heavy grade, it is 62-64 c . Heavy or light slack waxes as the raw material have the impression on the melting point of semi refined paraffin wax 5-7%, between 58 to 64°C. These differences allow to the customers to choose inquired paraffin wax according to its own country temperature and location. Semi refined paraffin 5-7% oil content heavy grade is mostly used in warm weather countries and light grade in cold weather countries. The main ingredient of, 5-7% semi refined paraffin wax is light or heavy slack wax. The price is lower than fully refined paraffin wax. Paraffin wax 5-7% oil, is transparent, white, too hard, non-odor. Since the congealing point is about 2 degrees lower than the melting point, in light grade congealing of paraffin especially in candle needs lower weather degree.
Light grade
This grade is used in mild and cold weather countries like Ukraine, turkey, Germany, England, Russia, France, Italy, Norway, Netherland, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. RAHA Company guaranty the quality of semi refined paraffin 5-7% oil content with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity of the semi-refined paraffin 5-7% oil content during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. RAHA Company guarantees the quality to meet with ASTM.
Heavy grade
This grade is used in hot weather countries like: South Africa, India, Pakistan, Kenya, UAE, Venezuela, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan, Ghana, Colombia and Brazil because if light grade used in hot weather paraffin will be melted and will make problem for the final product .

Application of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 5-7% Oil Content
The most application of this paraffin wax type is in match stick production and low quality candle making process. General application of semi refined paraffin wax are as follow:
- 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 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. In some special cases, we can load this type of paraffin wax in second hand or recondition steel drum according to the client order.
Analysis of semi refined paraffin 5-7% oil content
Analysis of paraffin wax grades depends on the raw material specification. if raw material would be light, the paraffin wax will be in light grade category and if the raw material would be heavy the paraffin wax will be in heavy grade category. We use modern refining system include sweating and jack press to produce all grades of paraffin wax. This grade categorized in low quality paraffin waxes.
