Paraffin wax is a white to slightly yellowish solid wax obtained from petroleum refining. It is stable, odourless, water resistant and easy to shape when heated, which makes it a versatile base material across many industries. The semi refined 58/60 grade we supply is the general-purpose grade most widely used in Indonesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between semi refined and fully refined paraffin wax?
Semi refined wax still contains a little oil (higher oil content), so it is more economical and suited to candles, coatings and general industrial use. Fully refined wax has a very low oil content and whiter colour, usually chosen for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food-contact packaging.
What does 58/60 mean?
It is the melting-point range in degrees Celsius. Grade 58/60 melts at 58–60 °C, the most common grade for candles and industrial use in Indonesia.
What is Daqing Green Stripe?
