Paraffin wax 1 to 3-5% oil content
General description of semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content
Semi refined Paraffin wax 3-5% content,it means that in this product the slabs of paraffin can have 1% , 1.2% , 1.3% , 1.4% , 1.7% , 1.8% , 1.9% , 2% , 2.3% , 2.6% , 2.9% , 3% oil content and melting point can be minimum 58-degree centigrade and maximum 60-degree centigrade.
The color is semi white and it is middle-grade of paraffin wax comparing below 1 which is the best grade and 5 which is considered as lower quality.
This grade is used in mild and cold weather countries like Ukraine, Turkey, Germany, England, Russia, France, Italy, Norway, Netherlands, Finland , Switzerland Sweden Denmark , Canada , Australia , New zealand .while paraffin wax 3-5% oil content, heavy grade means the slabs of paraffin wax can have 1% , 1.1% , 1.4% , 1.6% , 1.7% , 2% , 2.2% , 2.5% , 2.8% , 3% oil content , so melting point of semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% oil content is minimum 62 degree centigrade and maximum 64 degree centigrade more as semi refined paraffin wax 3-5% heavy grade is used in hot weather countries like : South Africa , India, Pakistan , Kenya , UAE , Venezuela , Thailand , Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq , Bahrain , Jordan , Ghana , Colombia , Brazil .Because if the light grade is used in hot weather it will be melted and will make a problem for delivery.
