Manufacturer's description

Paraffin 133-137 produced by Eni is a fully refined paraffin wax, obtained by modern refining of selected crude oil streams. It is a translucent white, non-tacky hard wax: free of impurities, with an oil content below 0.65% by weight, insoluble in water and in acids, poorly reactive at room temperature, a good moisture barrier and a poor conductor of heat and electricity. The name is the melting range in °F; two further grades are made, 118-122 and 122-126. It is used as a raw material for candles, polishes and pastels; as an auxiliary component in wax blends, rubbers, plastics, emulsions and adhesives; and as an additive that improves paper, board, cable and electrical conduit.

Applications

• Raw material in the production of finished products such as candles, polishes and pastels.
• Auxiliary component in manufacturing processes for wax blends, rubbers, plastics, emulsions and adhesives.
• Additive that improves the characteristics of materials such as paper, cardboard, cables and electrical conduits.

Performance & benefits

• Translucent white, non-tacky hard wax with total absence of impurities.
• Low oil content, below 0.65% by weight.
• Insoluble in water and in acids.
• Low reactivity at room temperature.
• Good waterproofing properties.
• Low electrical and thermal conductivity.
• Undergoes an additional catalytic hydrogenation step under controlled conditions, which improves chemical stability and ensures compliance with GU n°104-20/04/1973 (UV absorbance), tested to FDA 21 CFR 172.886(b), and RAL-GZ 041, Appendix 1.
