Paraffin Wax Suppliers in India for Industrial Needs
Premium Quality Paraffin Wax Exporter in India
Paraffin wax is a soft, white or colorless solid that is produced from petroleum during the refining process. It is composed mainly of saturated hydrocarbons and is known for its clean-burning, moisture-resistant and insulating properties. Paraffin wax is widely used in candle making, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food packaging, rubber processing and industrial applications. It is available in fully refined and semi-refined grades, depending on purity and oil content. Due to its stability, low reactivity and smooth texture, paraffin wax is valued across various industries for both commercial and household purposes.

Paraffin Wax Manufacturing Process Overview
Paraffin wax is made by refining petroleum, and the process is pretty cool once you see how many cleanup steps are involved. Here’s a clear, industry-style walkthrough from crude oil to finished wax.
1. Crude Oil Distillation
Everything starts at the refinery.
- Crude oil is heated and separated in a fractional distillation column.
- A heavy fraction known as the "lubricating oil distillate" or "slack wax feed" is separated.
- This fraction contains oil + wax + impurities
2. Solvent Dewaxing
This is where wax actually gets isolated.
- The oil fraction is mixed with solvents (commonly MEK–toluene or MEK–MIBK).
- The mixture is chilled to –10 to –30 °C.
- Wax crystals form and are filtered out
- Output: Slack wax (wax + trapped oil)
Slack wax typically contains 5–30% oil.
3. Deoiling (Sweating or Solvent Deoiling)
Now the wax is cleaned up.
a) Sweating (traditional method)
- Slack wax is slowly heated.
- Produces scale wax or semi-refined wax
b) Solvent Deoiling (modern method)
- Slack wax is re-dissolved in the solvent
- Further chilling and filtration remove more oil
- Produces fully refined paraffin wax
4. Hydrotreating / Hydrogenation
This step improves color, odor, and stability.
- Wax is treated with hydrogen over a catalyst.
- Removes sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatics
- Results in:
- Bright white color
- No odor
- Better oxidation stability
5. Filtration & Polishing
Final cleanup before solidifying.
- Clay filtration or fine filters remove trace impurities
- Ensures uniform appearance and quality
Applications & Uses of Paraffin Wax
Paraffin wax is a highly versatile product used across multiple industries due to its chemical stability and thermal properties.
Candle Industry
One of the largest applications of paraffin wax is candle manufacturing. Its clean-burning nature, smooth finish, and fragrance retention make it ideal for decorative and scented candles.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Paraffin wax is widely used in creams, lotions, lip balms, and treatments. It acts as an emollient and moisture barrier, helping soften and protect the skin.
Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceutical formulations, paraffin wax is used in ointments, coatings, and medicinal treatments due to its inert and stable characteristics.
Food Industry
Food-grade paraffin wax is used for coating fruits, vegetables, and cheese to extend shelf life and prevent moisture loss.
Packaging Industry
It is used as a coating material for paper and cardboard packaging to provide water resistance and durability
Rubber & Plastic Processing
Paraffin wax acts as a processing aid and lubricant in rubber and plastic manufacturing.
As reliable paraffin wax suppliers in India, HTMC Group ensures product availability for all these industries with customized grades and specifications.
