Paraffin Wax Supply & Sourcing Guide
Paraffin wax should be specified as fully refined, semi-refined or another accepted grade and matched to the intended application. Melting point, oil content, penetration, colour, odour, viscosity and form determine suitability for candles, packaging, rubber, board or specialty uses.
Specification checklist for the RFQ
- Fully refined or semi-refined grade
- Melting point and oil content
- Needle penetration, colour and odour
- Slab, granule, pastille or liquid form
Applications and end-use context
- Candle and decorative-wax production
- Packaging, paper and board coating
- Rubber, tyre and masterbatch processing
- Cosmetic or food-contact use only with approved grade
Delivery structure and logistics
Slabs, granules and pastilles require different bags, cartons, pallets and temperature protection. Liquid bulk wax needs heated tanks and controlled transfer. Container payload, seasonal heat exposure, blocking, breakage and destination storage should be considered.
Prices shown on the site are public market references only. An executable indication depends on specification, origin, destination, Incoterm, freight, insurance and payment structure.

Frequently asked questions
Is low oil content always better?
Not for every use. The required oil content depends on hardness, flexibility, appearance and the final application.
Can candle wax be used for food-contact packaging?
Only when the exact grade and regulatory documentation are approved for that use.
