General description

Slack wax 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 dewaxed: low neutral, medium neutral, and heavy neutral.

Slack wax is a mixture of oil and wax, obtained from lubricating oil. Slack wax is the crude wax produced by chilling and solvent filter-pressing wax distillate. It serves as feedstock and that is further refined and blended to create value-added petroleum wax products.

Application: in the production of wax emulsions, construction board, matches, Glass wool and textile treating, synthetic firelogs, matches, inks, weed bars, carbon paper, composite wood panels, chemicals and fertilizers, Paraffin wax production and candle production, in arena footing, in soil or turf protection, polishes, in fireplace products. Applied externally, these waxes can also function as good dust suppressants and/or controlled-release agents for various and also Rust protective products and waterproofing agents in the manufacture of various industrial products. 

In fully refined products may be filtered to remove color and odor. Our Slack waxes offer a wide variety of physical and performance characteristics that are suitable for use in various product and process applications: these benefits include: the wide range of melting points, blended and single distillate products, high flash points, high n-paraffin contents.

slack waxes for many different applications. Due to our widespread sources of raw material we are able to meet almost any specification of our customers and to develop products according to their requirements. slack waxes that contain a relatively high percentage of normal paraffin; this promotes the formation of large wax crystals and helps contribute to hard surface coatings with good water repellent characteristics.
