Arihant Solvents And Chemicals

We are highly appreciated for offering our clients with the best range of Semi Refined Paraffin Wax. Paraffin wax is a white or colourless soft solid derivable from petroleum, coal or oil shale, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms.

Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax is a hydrocarbon-based wax obtained from the refining of crude petroleum, commonly used in candle making, coatings, cosmetics, and industrial applications. It is less pure than fully refined wax but retains good melting properties and hardness.

Key Properties:

• Chemical type: Hydrocarbon (alkanes, C20–C40)

• Appearance: White to off-white solid

• Odor: Mild petroleum-like odor

• Melting point: 50–60 °C (varies by grade)

• Density: ~0.88–0.92 g/cm³

• Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents like benzene, toluene, and mineral spirits

• Hardness & Consistency: Medium hardness; can be blended with other waxes for desired properties

Uses:

1. Candle Making: Used for pillar, molded, and votive candles.

2. Packaging & Coatings: Provides moisture resistance and gloss in paper coatings, cardboard, and metal packaging.

3. Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in lip balms, creams, and ointments as a stiffening agent.

4. Industrial Applications: Acts as a lubricant, rust-preventive coating, or additive in rubber and plastics.

5. Polishes & Sealants: Improves surface finish, gloss, and protective properties.

Advantages:

• Cost-effective compared to fully refined paraffin wax.

• Provides good thermal and mechanical stability.

• Easy to blend with other waxes and additives.

• Safe and non-toxic for most industrial and cosmetic uses.

Safety Considerations:

• Avoid open flames near melting wax; flammable at high temperatures.

• Can cause skin irritation on prolonged contact; use gloves when handling molten wax.

• Store in cool, dry areas away from direct sunlight and moisture.

If you want, I can also make a comparison table of Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax vs Fully Refined Paraffin Wax vs Microcrystalline Wax, showing melting point, purity, hardness, and typical applications, which is very useful for industrial and cosmetic selection.

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax, sourced from Iran, China (Kunlun), or India (NRL - Numaligarh Refinery Ltd), is a high-purity petroleum derivative characterized by its white, odorless, tasteless, and solid crystalline form. It is heavily utilized in industrial applications due to its very low oil content, usually less than 0.5%. 

Here’s a product description for Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (Iran/China/MRL):

Fully Refined Paraffin Wax is a high‑purity, petroleum‑derived wax that has undergone extensive refining — including deoiling and hydrogenation — to remove impurities such as residual oil, sulphur compounds, and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Because of this deep refining, it is white to crystal‑clear, virtually odorless, and chemically stable, with very low oil content (typically below ~0.5 %).

Key Characteristics:

• High purity & low oil content: Ensures consistent quality and safety for sensitive applications.

• White, odorless appearance: Ideal where aesthetics or sensory neutrality matters.

• Stable melting behavior: Melting point commonly ranges from about 58 °C to 66 °C depending on the grade.

• Chemical inertness & moisture resistance: Makes it suitable for protective coatings and formulations.

Common Uses:

• Candle manufacturing: Premium candles with clean burning, smooth texture, and good fragrance and dye holding.

• Cosmetics & personal care: In creams, lip balms, lotions, and ointments as a stabilizer, emollient, or texture‑enhancing base.

• Food & packaging: Coating for food items such as fruits, cheese, and packaging materials for moisture barrier and preservation.

• Pharmaceuticals: As a base in ointments, suppositories, and topical formulations.

• Industrial & technical: Used in rubber and plastic processing, electrical insulation, polishes, waterproofing coatings, and release agents.

Additional Notes:

• Fully refined paraffin wax from Iran/China/MRL origins typically refers to the regional source of crude wax used and specifications tailored to export or industrial supply standards.

• It ensures consistent quality across batches and can be supplied in slabs, blocks, or pellet form depending on customer needs.

Antimony tin stabilizers (often referred to interchangeably with antimony mercaptide or antimony-based stabilizers) are chemical additives used primarily in the processing of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). They function as heat stabilizers to prevent the polymer from degrading, discoloring, or becoming brittle when exposed to high temperatures during manufacturing processes like extrusion and injection moulding. GlobalLinker +1While organotin stabilizers are often considered the industry standard for clarity and stability, antimony-based versions are frequently used as a more cost-effective alternative, often costing about half as much while providing comparable thermal stability. Changsheng Material +1

Antimony Tin Stabilizer is a heat stabilizer system used primarily in PVC (polyvinyl chloride) processing to prevent thermal degradation, discoloration, and loss of mechanical properties during extrusion, molding, or calendaring. It is a combination of antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) and organotin compounds, offering enhanced stability and transparency.

Key Properties:

• Chemical type: Mixed metal stabilizer (antimony + tin)

• Appearance: White to pale yellow powder or granules

• Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents and PVC resins

• Functionality: Acts as a heat stabilizer and processing aid

• Thermal stability: Effective at PVC processing temperatures (160–200 °C)

Uses:

1. Rigid PVC Applications: Pipes, window profiles, and sheets.

2. Flexible PVC Products: Cables, flooring, and films.

3. Transparent PVC Products: Ensures clarity and prevents discoloration.

4. Compounded PVC Formulations: Often combined with lubricants and fillers for optimal processing.

Advantages:

• Provides excellent thermal stability during high-temperature processing.

• Compatible with other PVC additives like plasticizers and lubricants.

• Non-discoloring, making it ideal for clear or light-colored PVC products.

• Cost-effective compared to some pure organotin stabilizers.

Safety Considerations:

• Antimony and tin compounds can be toxic if inhaled or ingested in large amounts.

• Avoid dust inhalation and prolonged skin contact.

• Handle with gloves, goggles, and proper ventilation.

Polyethylene wax (PE Wax) is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer with wax-like characteristics, used extensively as a lubricant, dispersing agent, and processing aid in plastics, adhesives, coatings, and rubber manufacturing. It improves surface finish, enhances gloss, increases heat/chemical resistance, and reduces viscosity in processed materials.

PE wax (Polyethylene wax) is a low–molecular-weight polyethylene material used mainly as a processing aid, lubricant, and surface modifier in industrial and cosmetic applications.

What It Is

• Lower viscosity

• Waxy, solid texture at room temperature

It can be produced from:

• Direct polymerization

• Thermal cracking of polyethylene

• By-products of polymer manufacturing

Common Uses

1. Plastics & Polymers

• Lubricant during extrusion and molding

• Improves flow properties

• Enhances surface smoothness

2. Coatings & Inks

• Water resistant

• Chemically stable

• Low viscosity when melted

Advantages

✔ Improves processing efficiency
✔ Enhances surface durability
