Semi refined paraffin wax 5-7% light grade (melting point 58-60 c); is used in mild and cold weather countries like Ukraine, Turkey , Germany, England, Russia, France, Italy, Norway, nether land, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden; Denmark, Canada , Australia , New Zealand.
Since the congealing point is about 2 degrees lower than the melting point, in light grade congealing of paraffin especially in candles needs lower weather degree.
