Slack Wax 12% Description
Slack Wax 12% Oil content is a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from a petroleum fraction by solvent crystallization (solvent dewaxing) or as a distillation fraction from a very waxy crude. It consists predominantly of saturated straight and branched chain hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C20.
According to the harmonized classification and labelling approved by the European Union, Slack Wax 12% Oil content may cause cancer.
The traditional usage of this product is in the production of fully refined paraffin wax which is the main raw material for candle manufacturing.
