Light Slack Wax is a semi-refined petroleum byproduct obtained during the process of lubricating oil production. It contains a mixture of oil and paraffin wax and has a lower oil content compared to heavy slack wax. Light slack wax is typically yellowish to brown in color, with a softer consistency due to its relatively higher oil content.

Key Characteristics:

• Oil Content: Generally ranges between 5% and 25%, depending on refining processes.
• Melting Point: Varies between 45°C to 65°C.
• Appearance: Soft, semi-solid, and slightly greasy texture.
• Odor: Mild petroleum-like scent.

Applications:

Light slack wax is widely used in various industries, including:

• Candle Manufacturing: As a blending agent to modify burning properties.
• Rubber and Tire Industry: Acts as a processing aid and softener.
• Plywood and Board Production: Used as a waterproofing and anti-sticking agent.
• Polish and Coating Industry: Used in formulations for wood, leather, and car polishes.
• Petroleum Jelly Production: As a raw material for further refining.
• Ink and Carbon Paper Manufacturing: Provides lubricating properties.
