Product Description
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax is a purified hydrocarbon wax derived from petroleum refining. It is characterized by its semi-refined nature, meaning it retains some impurities compared to fully refined waxes, but still meets industrial quality standards. This wax is solid at room temperature with a moderate melting point and is widely used in various industries due to its excellent moisture barrier properties, plasticity, and chemical inertness. It serves as a key raw material in candles, packaging, cosmetics, and coating formulations.
