Paraffin Wax Description

Paraffin Wax is a white or colorless soft solid derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil. Composed primarily of saturated hydrocarbons, it is known for its excellent water resistance, chemical stability, and smooth texture. With a relatively low melting point, Paraffin Wax is widely used in candle manufacturing, packaging, cosmetics, rubber, textiles, and food industries. It provides gloss, flexibility, and moisture resistance, making it a versatile raw material. Balsa Petrokimya ensures consistent supply of high-quality Paraffin Wax that meets the stringent requirements of industrial and consumer applications worldwide.
