parskhorshid has been one of the reliable exporters of Slack Wax for several years, known for its professional approach and commitment to international standards. Slack Wax is categorized as part of the lubricating oils fraction during the oil refining process and is widely recognized as a raw material for producing paraffin wax.
What is Slack Wax?
Slack Wax is a semi-refined by-product obtained during the production of lubricating oils. It is essentially a mixture of oil and wax, usually yellow to brown in color, with characteristics that vary depending on its oil content and melting point.
Based on melting point, Slack Wax is divided into:
-
Light Grade: melting point between 50–52°C, suitable for producing fully refined paraffin.
-
Heavy Grade: melting point between 53–55°C, mainly used in semi-refined paraffin production and other industrial purposes.
Typically, the oil content of Slack Wax ranges from 5% to 30%. This oil percentage not only affects its applications but also directly impacts its price — the higher the oil content, the lower the price.
Properties of Slack Wax
Slack Wax is valued for several unique properties that make it suitable across multiple industries:
-
Water Resistance: forms a protective layer against moisture.
-
Thermal Insulation: effective in preventing heat transfer, useful in textiles and coatings.
-
Electrical Insulation: prevents electrical conductivity, applicable in electronic components.
-
Lubricating Ability: reduces friction between surfaces, minimizing heat generation.
-
Low Density: lightweight yet effective for blending and coating.
-
Melting Without Decomposition: ensures stability during industrial processing.
Main Applications of Slack Wax
Due to its versatility, Slack Wax is used as a raw material or blending component in a wide range of industries:
-
Candle, Matches, and Emulsion Production
-
Ink, Carbon Paper, and Adhesives
-
Textile Coating and Waterproofing Agents
-
Blending Component in Industrial Products
-
Paraffin Wax Production
After a de-oiling process (also called de-waxing), Slack Wax is converted into paraffin wax, which has both industrial and food-grade applications.
