Buy Scale Wax Online
Buy Scale Wax Online, Scale waxes differ from their paraffin counterparts due to a lower degree of refinement resulting in a higher oil content of 1.5% – 5.0%. The greater oil content increases the ability to manipulate the wax compared to the harder and more brittle paraffin wax family – still scale waxes have a negligible tensile strength. Melting points are between 122 and 145°F (50 – 63°C). Slack Wax is mixture of paraffin wax and oil originated from petroleum crude oil. Wax oil content can range from 10% to 30%. Slack Wax is produced during the production of Group I lube base oil.
Scale waxes Specs
124 to 126°F melting point are used in the match industry.
Higher melting point are used in Kraft paper industry, e.g. builder’s papers, cement bag stock, roofing felt, car liners, and heavy kraft wrappings.
Low oil content are required in the manufacture of crayons.
Also used as a blend or as alone in making candles.
