General description of slack wax light grade 10% oil content
Slack wax light grade 10% oil content is yellow or brown , easy melt able product. Slack wax light 10% oil content is one of the products of refineries which was considered as rubbish about 20 years ago but now a days even there is long line of orders for this product .
light grade is a mixture of paraffin wax and oil.
Uses of slack wax light 10% oil content
light grade 10% oil slack wax is mostly used to produce different grades of paraffin wax by two processes: decolorizing and de-oiling.
Slack wax 10% oil content light grade is also used to produce matches.
Slack waxes with oil content below 10% are used for manufacturing of religious candles. It is the crude wax produced by chilling and solvent filter-pressing wax distillate.
There are basically three types of slack wax produced, the type depending on the viscosity of the lube oil being de-waxed: low neutral, medium neutral, and heavy neutral.
Packing of light 10% oil content
Packing slack wax light 10% oil content is new or second hand 180 kg drums, ISO tank or flexi tanks.in each 20 foot container 110 drums of slack wax can be loaded .
Guaranty/warranty of slack wax light 10% oil content
ATDM guaranty the quality of slack wax light 10% oil content with arrangement of international inspector to check quality and quantity of slack wax light 10% during the loading to vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. ATDM guaranty the quality to meet with ASTM .

A: This is a semi-solid mixture of paraffin wax and mineral oil, refined to approximately 10 % free oil by weight. It appears light yellow to beige, melts easily, and is often used as a feedstock for higher-grade waxes or in applications where moderate hardness and melting point are required.
A: Specifications generally include oil content around 8-10 % by weight, kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of approximately 5 cSt, flash point around 230 °C, specific gravity about 0.80, congealing point near 55 °C, drop melting point around 57 °C, and color value approximately 3 on the ASTM D-1500 scale.
A: It is widely used as a raw material for producing paraffin wax through further refining (de-oiling and de-coloring), for match production, and in candle manufacturing—especially religious or special-purpose candles where a firmer base is required. It can also serve in polishes, coatings and rust-protective applications.
