Wax is an organic, plastic – like substance that is solid at ambient temperature and becomes liquid when melted.
In general terms waxes are naturally or synthetically derived.
Crude oil is transported to refineries where it is refined into finished products by complex processes.
One of the many products derived from refining is lube/base oils.
The waxes are produced in the lube / oil refining process.
Petroleum waxes as a mixture of hydrocarbons are classified in three general categories. They include microcrystalline, macrocrystalline and semi-microcrystalline paraffin wax. Our Paraffin Waxes are macrocrystalline and provide a wide variety of physical characteristics such as oil content and melting point,… can be used in a wide range of industries.
