Slack wax light grade from Iran

Why we call it light Grade?

We call it slack wax light grade because it has a lower oil content compared to heavy grades. Therefore, it looks lighter in color, feels less oily, and has a higher congealing point. Moreover, its structure makes it easier to melt and refine, which is why industries often prefer it for producing paraffin wax and candles.

What’s the range of oil content of light grade slack wax

The oil content of slack wax light grade usually ranges between 10% and 30%. Because of this variation, buyers can choose the grade that suits their production process. For example, 10% oil content is closer to refined paraffin and is more solid, while 30% oil content is softer and used in cold countries for easier handling.

Industrial Uses and Technical Data of Slack Wax Light Grade

Slack wax lightgrade is widely used in different industries. It is a key raw material for paraffin wax, which is then used in candles, packaging, rubber, and cosmetics. In addition, factories use it in coatings, polishes, and board manufacturing. Technical data shows that it has a flash point of around 230 °C, viscosity of 5–8 cSt at 100 °C, and congealing point between 50–55 °C. These values prove that the product is stable and suitable for industrial processing.

Exporting and Packing Options for Light Grade Slack Wax from Iran

Slack wax light grade from Iran is exported worldwide in different packing methods. The most common packing is 180 kg steel drums (new or second hand), with about 110 drums loaded in a 20-foot container. Moreover, bulk customers prefer ISO tanks or flexi-tanks, which can hold about 20 MT each. Some buyers from Europe ask for ISO tanks with heating systems for easy unloading. Each packing option gives flexibility based on customer demand.

Oil Content Ranges and Properties of Slack Wax Light Grade (10%–30%)

Slackwax light grade 10% oil is firmer and used as feedstock for refined paraffin. Slack wax 20% is more flexible and works well for matches and polishes. Meanwhile, slack wax 30% oil content is softer, lower in melting point, and cheaper in price, so it is preferring in countries with cold climates. Therefore, the oil content not only changes the properties but also influences the price and end use.

Applications of Light Slack Wax in Candles, Matches, and Paraffin Production

Slack wax light grade is vital for candle production. Wax with oil content below 10% is used for religious candles, while higher oil contents are used for general candles. It is also using for matches because it burns steadily. Moreover, most refineries process slack wax_light grade to make fully refined and semi refined paraffin wax. These refined products are then sold to industries such as cosmetics, adhesives, and paper.

Technical Analysis and ASTM Standards for Slack Wax Light_Grade

Slackwax light grade is tested under ASTM international standards to guarantee quality. For example:

• ASTM D-445 measures viscosity.

• ASTM D-92 checks flash point.

• ASTM D-721 determines oil content.

• ASTM D-937 measures congealing point.

• ASTM D-127 determines drop melting point.
  By following these methods, suppliers can ensure that every shipment meets international requirements.

Global Market Insights for Light Grade Slack Wax Exports

The demand for slack wax light grade is increasing worldwide. Countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe import it regularly for candle and paraffin production. Because supply is often limited, some factories must wait for raw material availability. Moreover, price changes depend on crude oil trends, refinery output, and seasonal demand. Traders and importers follow these market signals closely to book their shipments in advance.

Why Industries Choose SlackWax Light Grade for Refining and Blending

Industries choose slack wax lightgrade because it is versatile, affordable, and reliable. With oil content up to 30%, it can be refined into higher-value waxes or used directly in many industries. Furthermore, blending slack wax_light grade with other waxes allows producers to adjust texture, burning quality, and hardness for specific products.

Supply, Pricing, and Packaging Solutions for Slack Wax Light Grade

Suppliers from Iran provide slackwax light grade with competitive prices and flexible packing. Prices depend on oil content, packing type, and order volume. For example, new drums are about USD 25/MT higher than second-hand drums. Customers can choose from drums, jumbo bags, flexi-tanks, or ISO tanks based on their needs.

Technical Analysis of Slack Wax_Light Grade (≈10% Oil Content)

The technical analysis of Slack Wax Light Grade with about 10% oil content shows that it has a kinematic viscosity of 5 cSt at 100 °C, measured by ASTM D-445. Its flash point is 230 °C according to ASTM D-92. The specific gravity at 25 °C/25 °C is 0.80, determined by ASTM D-190. The oil content ranges between 8% and 10% by weight, tested with ASTM D-721. In addition, the congealing point is around 55 °C based on ASTM D-937, while the color value is 3 as per ASTM D-1500. Finally, the drop melting point is 57 °C, measured with ASTM D-127.
