Slack paraffin wax
For economic flexibility and high production volume
Our paraffin Prowaxx™ SW line encompasses petroleum slack with low-, mid- and high-range melting points. These products are derived through a carefully controlled refining process and are primarily comprised of a mixture of straight chain normal paraffin and branched, iso-paraffin hydrocarbons.
Diversity of applications
Like each of our wax products, slack paraffin wax products are designed and controlled according to rigorous proprietary and industry standards. Prowaxx™ SW products offer a broad range of applications, including:
• Candles
• Candle wax blends
• De-dusting for roofing granules, roads, fertilizer, glass wool and textile treating
• Feedstock for fully refined waxes and microwax
• Firelogs
• Wood boardsizing
• Wax blends
• Wax emulsions
• Wood boardsizing
