Paraffin wax is a byproduct of the oil purification process. Through a dewaxing process that crude oil undergoes, paraffin wax is derived and is then processed further for use in products.

Today, petroleum-based paraffin wax can be found in candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators, among other commercial items.

This product is available in two types: Semi Refined Paraffin Wax and Fully Refined Paraffin Wax.

The difference between fully refined paraffin wax and semi-refined paraffin wax is:

  1. The main difference between fully refined paraffin wax and semi-refined paraffin wax is the oil content. The oil content of fully refined paraffin wax is less than semi-refined paraffin wax.
  2. semi-refined paraffin: darker color – fully refined paraffin: lighter color.
