Liquid Paraffin

Description of Liquid Paraffin

Liquid paraffin is a very highly refined mineral oil used in cosmetics and medicine. Mineral oil is a clear, odorless oil derived from a mineral source, typically a distillate of petroleum. In liquid paraffin, the refinement process means complete removal of aromatics, sulfur, and nitrogen compounds.

Liquid paraffin (white oil) is quite different product comparing paraffin wax which is a solid white and hard product, white oil has different usage for manufacture of pharmaceuticals and personal care products such as ointments, lotions cosmetic, hair oils, baby oils, moisturizers, laxatives, and creams and is quite processed for not being harmful to human and industrial grade is used for polishes and car or shoe wax.

However, liquid paraffin is a term reserved for highly-refined mineral oil that is suitable for skin care products applications and even for oral ingestion. This is an important distinction, because some skin care experts who express concern about it may be inadvertently referring to non-medical grade mineral oil, which has not been properly purified for use in skin products.

Liquid Paraffin Application

Liquid paraffin makes an ideal blending base for personal care and pharmaceutical products. Their inert nature makes them easy to work with, as they lubricate, smooth, soften, extend and resist moisture in many formulations.

Foots Oil Packing

Residue wax packing is steel drums new or recondition to avoid any leakage during transportation. new drum cost is so high that is not economic to be used for packing of wax which is the residue of paraffin wax producing and is considered as the cheapest product of the wax producing process. Used drums are washed to be clean enough to be filled with an oily product. As the foots oil is not a cosmetic or pharma grade material such as petroleum jelly, we can use second hand drums for packing. ISO tank and flex tank are not used for wax because it is not oily enough to be unloaded without heating it and again it is not economic to use these luxuries packing for this type of wax.

Slack Wax

Slack Wax Description

Wax is a petrochemical product of refineries so this is highly related to oil in refinery towers wax is near to bitumen and their difference is in the color. Slack wax is also petroleum product; the raw material of paraffin wax. It is a mixture of oil and wax in yellow or brown color, processed by De-oiling to decrease the oil content and De-coloring by special powders after heating to produce paraffin wax.

It is the product, which serves as IGI’s feedstock and that is further refined and blended to create value-added petroleum wax products.

Slack wax is naturally brown in color and depending on the viscosity of the lube oil being de-waxed it is categorized in two types of light and heavy. In light grades the melting point is 50-52˚C where in light grades the melting point is 53-55˚C is the heavy grade and their oil content ranges from 5.0% to 35%.

Slack Wax Application

Slack wax is used in emulsions, construction board, matches, candles, rust protective products and moisture vapor barriers, polishes, inks, carbon paper and externally can be applied as good dust suppressants or controlled-release agents for various chemical and fertilize. Also, it is used in insulation industry and tarpaulin fabric.

• Emulsion
• construction board
• match industry
• candle making
• tarpaulin fabric
• insulation industry
• ink industry
• carbon paper

Storage & Handling

If you use drum for slack wax packing there is no any special condition to store it. But you should consider the temperature of environment. With increasing ambient temperature, it going to be liquid. For jumbo bag packing it is so better to use it as soon as you can and keep it away from direct sun light and high temperature (more than 30 °C). Jumbo bag packing is used in winter usually and it is so good for it with low oil content (below than 8%). There is no any limitation for handling except jumbo bag packing. high weight Jumbo bags are a little risky to handle and should not be moved so many times.

Slack Wax Packing

Paraffin Wax

Paraffin Wax Description

Paraffin wax is a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treatment of a petroleum wax fraction with natural or modified clay to remove trace amts. Crude oils and their products contain a large number of individual paraffin. of polar compounds and impurities; predominantly straight chain saturated hydrocarbons.

The raw material of paraffin wax production is slack wax. Slack wax is also petroleum product. It is a mixture of oil and wax in yellow or brown color, processed by De-oiling to decrease the oil content and De-coloring by special powders after heating to produce it.

It is a solid crystalline mixture of straight-chain (normal) hydrocarbons ranging from C20 to C34 and possibly higher, that is, CH3(CH2) CH3, where n218.

It is popularly used in candle making process. Paraffin candles are odorless and bluish-white in color, burns more cleanly and are also more economical than other types of candles.

Synonyms for paraffin wax are: Hard paraffin; Paraffin fume; Petroleum wax. crystalline; Poly (methylene) wax.

Paraffin Wax Application

Paraffin wax has many applications in different industries but the main one is candle making. Almost all types of candle can be made with paraffin. The melting point is the primary determinant of the type of candle you can make with it.

Other uses of it are as follow:

• Bottles
• Rubber
• Irons
• Drawers
• Windows
• Zippers
• Snow Shovels
• Toboggans
• Trash cans
• Chocolate Making
• Hard Cheese
• Handrails
• Steel or Iron
• Fruits and Vegetables
• Hands & Feet
• Crayons
• friction reducer

Paraffin Wax Storage & Handling

Paraffin wax better to be stored in a dark place to prevent from changing color. Do not breathe fumes or vapor from molten material. Do not allow molten material to contact skin. The material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Also, high temperatures (more than 40°C) may deform the slabs of paraffin. DO NOT heat this material above its flash point. Keep away from flames and open electrical coils. The best way to handle the paraffin is carton box packing on the pallet with shrinkage. It is so strong and safe for transporting.

Packing

The main used packing for paraffin wax is carton box. Total net weight that is packed is 25 Kg include 5 slabs in each carton box. According to the quality of produced paraffin we use nylon for slabs. Sometimes clients order for P.P bag or gunny packing. These two types of packing used for decreasing the final price. Carton box on pallet is the best packing method for safe exporting.

Petroleum Jelly

Petroleum Jelly Description

Petroleum jelly is a widely distributed product that heals, rejuvenates, and moisturizes dry, cracked skin.  It is a semi-solid, with a mixture of hydrocarbons mostly found in petroleum.  Advertised to be 100% pure petroleum jelly, Unilever has continued to sit at the top of the skincare market for nearly 135 years.

Compared to the commercial giant it is today, Vaseline had small and humble beginnings.  Petroleum jelly, first known as the “Wonder Jelly,” was invented by Robert Augustus Chesebrough.  He was intrigued by miners who would apply a byproduct from the oil drilling.  This byproduct was unrefined petroleum jelly, also known as rod wax.  The workers would apply the rod wax on their burns, and Chesebrough decided to research further into it.  He performed many tests of refinery and distillation to help create a safer and better product.  Even though Petroleum jelly is a versatile fix-it solution, it is composed of unsustainable and unhealthy materials that are hazardous to the environment around it.  Although Unilever is making small steps every year towards more sustainable products, we can see how environmentally destructive Petroleum jelly is through examining its acquisition of raw materials.

PARAFLUID petroleum jellies are of the highest purity and consistently high quality, especially in terms of their consistency and their possibilities for further processing. They are virtually odorless and tasteless. Their color varies depending on the application requirements and the degree of refining and can range from snow white to slightly yellow.

The basic manufacture of Petroleum jelly is the result of the combination of the individual ingredients into a melted uniform solution. The factories that produce Petroleum jelly are powered by electricity. Machines that blend the ingredients into the solution that will later become Vaseline are powered by electricity. Electricity is the resultant secondary energy source derived from the burning of fossil fuels. Chemical energy is required to produce the electricity, and the heat provided by the electricity is the result of thermal energy. Unilever Kenya, the primary factory that produces Vaseline among other Unilever skin care products, operates 24 hours a day and 6 days a week. By percentage, the factory’s energy usage is 60% burning of furnace oil, 36% electricity, and 4% liquefied petroleum gas; all of these energies are fossil fuels. In 2010 the factory demanded 1.8 mega volt amps of energy to operate. This great amount of energy required for a single factory’s operation is revealing of the tremendous rate at which unsustainable fossil fuels are being used.

Polyethylene Wax

Description of Polyethylene Wax

Polyethylene wax is derived from ethylene through a process called polymerization. Manufacturers alter the polymerization process to get a product with desired qualities. However, certain basic properties of the material are common for all PE wax.

Polyethylene Wax, also known as PE Wax, is an ultra-low molecular weight PE. PE wax helps granule produce by decrease the softening point of the system. PE wax is a very good external lubricant for PVC. When PE wax use in PVC application, the final produce face has been shine. Polyethylene wax using decreases the friction so increase the extrusion capacity. PE wax using doesn’t change the product color because PE wax has got
good oxidation resistance.

Uses of Polyethylene Wax

The wax finds application in a wide range of industries because of its desirable physical and chemical properties. As the material can have a broad range of melt points, densities and other properties, it is understandable why it is used so extensively.

Polyethylene waxes have very unique polymer properties that make them useful in many applications. The major functions of PE wax in many formulations are to either provide lubrication and/or provide physical modification of a formula by changing viscosity and / or melt point. Polyethylene wax increase inorganic and organic pigment dispersion in
matrix polymer during masterbatch processing. Also, PE wax helps granule produce by decrease softening point of system. Polyethylene wax is very good external lubricant for PVC. When PE wax use in PVC application, final produce face has been shine.

Polyethylene wax using decrease the friction so increase the extrusion capacity. PE wax using doesn’t change the product color because PE wax has got good oxidation resistance. PE wax doesn’t bad effect product’s heat and light stability because pe wax doesn’t include catalizors remnant.

Polyethylene wax increase last product’s light stability. PE wax hasn’t got toxic materials so PE wax can be use food packaging applications. PE wax use hot melt application.

• High softening point
