About paraffin wax

I. Basic Overview of Paraffin Wax

Parffin wax is a solid mixture of alkanes refined from petroleum fractions. 

It is a white or pale yellow translucent solid, odorless and tasteless, chemically stable, resistant to acid and alkali corrosion and oxidation,

has a moderate melting point, strong plasticity, good sealing properties, and is moisture-proof and waterproof. It is an indispensable basic raw material in 

industrial, daily-use, scented candle, chemical, and packaging fields.

II. Core Characteristics of Paraffin Wax

Physicochemical Stability:Solid at room temperature, with a regular melting point range, it is not easily volatile or deteriorated, resulting in a long shelf life.

Water and Moisture Proof:Dense molecular structure provides excellent water-proof, moisture-proof, and impermeable properties.

Strong Plasticity: Easily melts upon heating and quickly sets upon cooling, suitable for various processes such as casting, injection molding, dip coating, and molding.

Safe and Environmentally Friendly:Refined food-grade/industrial-grade paraffin wax has low impurities, burns without smoke, and has a mild odor, meeting the production 

standards for daily-use and scented products.

Excellent adhesion: Highly compatible with fragrances, pigments, containers, and wicks, ensuring even coloring and long-lasting fragrance.

III. Main Classifications of Paraffin Wax

By melting point: Fully refined paraffin wax (52#, 54#, 56#, 58#, 60#, etc.) and semi-refined paraffin wax.

By refining grade: Fully refined paraffin wax (for scented candles, craft candles, and food packaging); semi-refined paraffin wax (for lighting candles, industrial coatings, and waterproofing).

By form: Granular paraffin wax, block paraffin wax, and slab paraffin wax, facilitating storage, transportation, and automated machine feeding.

IV. Core Application Areas

Scented candles/craft candles are suitable for mass production using automated candle machines. 

They have good melt flow, produce full, non-shrinking, and non-cracking shapes, blend well with essential oils, and burn evenly and smokelessly,

 making them a primary raw material for home fragrance and festive craft candles.

Daily lighting candles have a stable melting point and moderate hardness. Mass production ensures uniform specifications, good storage resistance, and 

minimal deformation, making them suitable for large-scale production lines of household candles.

Industrial applications include paper coating, cardboard waterproofing, cable insulation, wood preservation, hardware rust prevention, textile impregnation, and mold release.

Other industries include food packaging wax impregnation, cosmetic bases, chemical auxiliaries, and precision instrument sealing and maintenance.

V. Warehousing and Supply Advantages: Direct supply from major raw material manufacturers ensures ample inventory and a 

full range of specifications, enabling long-term, stable, and bulk supply. The paraffin wax granules/blocks are well-formed, suitable for 

automated candle production lines with automatic feeding, constant-temperature melting, and quantitative filling processes. 

We support full truckload and individual order customization and delivery, maintaining stable quality standards; each batch's indicators are testable, 

making us suitable for export and long-term procurement by domestic factories.

VI. Advantages in Compatibility with Automated Candle Machines: The paraffin wax's melting point matches the temperature control system of automated 

wax melting tanks, ensuring excellent fluidity, uniform wax flow, and preventing pipe blockage and hardening. 

Controllable cooling and molding speed makes it suitable for automated production line demolding and packaging, significantly increasing machine capacity 

and reducing defect rates, making it the preferred raw material for automated candle production.
