Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C) — Frequently Asked Questions

The MOQ for fully refined paraffin wax is typically one pallet (approximately 500–600 kg in 25 kg cartons) to one MT. Container load quantities (15–20 MT) offer the most competitive pricing. Please contact us to confirm current MOQs for your specific grade and packaging requirements.

Yes, fully refined paraffin wax meeting FDA 21 CFR 178.3710 and EU food contact material regulations is available for food coating applications (cheese, fruit, vegetables), food packaging, and direct food contact uses. PAH testing is performed to confirm compliance.

Paraffin wax prices are linked to crude oil markets and refinery availability. Please contact our sales team for current pricing based on your required grade, volume, origin, and CIF/FOB delivery terms.

Yes, pharmaceutical-grade paraffin wax (Paraffinum Solidum) meeting USP, BP, and Ph.Eur. standards is available for topical pharmaceutical formulations, ointment bases, suppositories, and tablet coating. Full pharmacopoeia-compliant CoA and analytical documentation are provided.

The congealing point of our paraffin wax corresponds closely to the stated melting point grade. Needle penetration at 25°C for fully refined paraffin wax is typically 14–20 (ASTM D1321), indicating moderate hardness. Grade-specific values are confirmed in the Certificate of Analysis.

Yes, paraffin wax is available in standard slab form (25 kg cartons), pastille or prilled form (small spherical pellets for ease of handling and melting), and powder form for specific applications. Please specify your preferred product form when enquiring.

Yes, food-grade fully refined paraffin wax is used for cheese rind coating to prevent mould growth and moisture loss, and for fresh fruit and vegetable surface coating to extend shelf life. FDA 21 CFR or EU food contact compliant grade is supplied with relevant PAH test reports.

Fully refined paraffin wax is available in 25 kg cartons (slabs or pastilles), 180–200 kg fibre drums, and bulk liquid delivery (maintained at elevated temperature) for large-volume users. Container load quantities in cartons or drums provide the most cost-effective supply for most B2B buyers.

Yes, we source paraffin wax from refineries holding BRC Food Safety accreditation where required by buyers in food manufacturing supply chains. BRC-certified source documentation is available upon request.

Fully refined paraffin wax has a Saybolt colour of +30 minimum (water white to near-clear) and a very low, neutral odour. These specifications make it suitable for cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical applications where odour and colour impurities are unacceptable.

Yes, pharmaceutical and cosmetic grade paraffin wax is available for ointment bases, cold creams, skin care preparations, hair waxes, and cosmetic formulations. USP/BP pharmacopoeia-grade wax with full compliance documentation is provided for pharmaceutical applications.

Fully refined paraffin wax typically has a kinematic viscosity of 3.0–5.0 cSt at 100°C (ASTM D445), depending on molecular weight grade. This low viscosity makes it easy to process in hot melt systems, coating operations, and candle manufacturing. Grade-specific values are confirmed in the technical data sheet.

Yes, paraffin wax is used for wax impregnation of corrugated board (moisture resistance for produce packaging) and cup stock coating (paper cups and containers). Both fully refined and semi-refined grades are supplied depending on the application and food contact requirements.

Yes, blending paraffin wax with microcrystalline wax is common practice to modify hardness, flexibility, adhesion, and tack for hot melt adhesives, packaging coatings, and candle manufacturing. We can supply both components or custom pre-blended grades.

Lead times for paraffin wax to European candle manufacturers from Middle Eastern or Asian origins are typically 3–6 weeks. For Asian manufacturers from regional sources, 2–4 weeks. Please contact us for destination-specific lead time estimates based on current shipping schedules.

We supply paraffin wax from multiple reputable origins including Iran (Sepahan Wax, Neka Wax), Russia, China, Middle East, and South Korea. Brand preference can be specified; supply is subject to current market availability. Please contact us with your brand or origin preference.

Yes, PAH testing (PAH4 screening — benzo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, chrysene) is performed on all food-contact and cosmetic-grade paraffin wax. Test results from accredited laboratories are provided to confirm compliance with EU food safety and cosmetics safety regulations.

Yes, forward pricing and long-term supply contracts for paraffin wax are available for buyers with regular procurement needs. Fixed-price agreements provide certainty against crude oil price volatility. Please contact our trading team to discuss contract volumes, duration, and pricing structure.
