SINOPEC Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 52/54 for Soybean Wax Candles
The cost of making candles with soy wax is very high, and adding about 5% semi-refined paraffin wax can reduce the cost. SINOPEC Jingmen Branch produces semi-refined paraffin wax at various melting points, such as 52–54℃, 54–56℃, 56–58℃, etc. If you need to purchase high-quality, high-purity, and odorless paraffin, please contact our company to provide you with the best price and service.
Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax 52/54 refers to a type of paraffin wax that has been partially refined. The numbers 52/54 correspond to the melting point range of the wax, meaning it starts to melt at 52 degrees Celsius and is fully melted by 54 degrees Celsius.
Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid that’s derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale. It’s used in a wide variety of applications, including:
Candles: This is probably the most common use of paraffin wax. It burns cleanly and steadily, making it ideal for use in candles.
Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: Paraffin wax is often used in the production of cosmetics and pharmaceutical products due to its ability to act as a barrier against moisture.
Food Industry: This type of wax can be used to coat foods such as cheese or fruits to prevent moisture loss and extend shelf life.
Industrial Applications: In the industrial sector, paraffin wax can be used as a lubricant, an insulator, and in the production of crayons and wax paper.
The “semi-refined” aspect of this wax indicates that it has undergone some degree of purification, but still contains some oil content. It’s less refined than fully refined paraffin wax, which has an oil content typically less than 0.5%, making it more suitable for applications that require a higher degree of purity. The semi-refined paraffin wax, with a slightly higher oil content, is less expensive and is often used in applications where a higher oil content is not a problem.
It’s important to consider the desired application when choosing between semi-refined and fully refined paraffin wax.

Q1: What is semi-refined paraffin wax?
A1: Semi-refined paraffin wax is a type of wax that undergoes a partial refining process to remove impurities and unwanted substances. It is derived from petroleum and is a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules. Semi-refined paraffin wax has a lower melting point and is softer compared to fully refined paraffin wax.
Q2: What are the advantages and disadvantages of using semi-refined paraffin wax?
A2: Advantages of using semi-refined paraffin wax include its affordability, versatility, and wide availability. It can be easily blended with other materials and additives, allowing for customization of its properties. Additionally, it has a low odor, good stability, and can be melted and solidified repeatedly without significant degradation.
However, there are some disadvantages to consider. Semi-refined paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource. Its production and refining processes can have environmental impacts. Furthermore, it has a relatively low melting point, which may limit its use in applications requiring higher temperature stability.
