Slack wax light grade 10% oil content
General description of slack wax light grade 10% oil content
Slack wax light grade 10% oil content is yellow or light brown color, easily meltable product. the melting point is about 57 °C which can be an advantage of this grade of slack wax. Slack wax light grade 10% oil content is one of the products of refineries which was considered as rubbish about 20 years ago but nowadays even there is the long line of orders for this product. The slack wax light grade is a mixture of paraffin wax and oil. slack wax light grade is considered as raw material for many products the main is paraffin wax , there are huge demand for slack wax to export from Iran, sometimes the factories should wait in line for their slack wax raw material, odor and color of light slack wax is mild although it depends on to the refinery activity and is not fixed all the time .
RAHA Paraffin Company guaranty the quality of slack wax light grade 10% oil content with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity of the slack wax light grade 10% oil content during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. RAHA Paraffin Company guarantees the quality to meet with ASTM.
Uses of slack wax light grade 10% oil content
Slack wax light grade 10% oil content is mostly used to produce different grades of paraffin wax by two processes DE-coloring and DE-oiling. Slack wax 10% oil content light grade is also used to produce matches. Slack waxes with oil content below 10% are used for manufacturing of religious candles. Slack wax is the crude wax produced by chilling and solvent filter-pressing wax distillate. There are basically three types of slack wax produced, the type depending on the viscosity of the lube oil being DE-waxed: low neutral, medium neutral and heavy neutral. cold weather countries need light slack wax with the lower melting point.
Slack wax, Light Grade is most commonly used in wax emulsions, as binders and water-proofing in artificial woods; in matches; in jar candles; in rust protection products; in industrial lubricants; in arena footing; in soil or Surf protection; and in fireplace products.
Packing of slack wax light grade 10% oil content
Packing slack wax light grade 10% oil content is new or second hand 180 kg drums, ISO tank or flexitanks. in each 20 foot container 110 drums of slack wax can be loaded . in ISO tank and flexitank about 20 MT can be loaded . some customers especially Europeans need ISO tank with warmer equipment for easy unloading to their factory this kind of packing will add the cost of each MT .
