Our most cost-effective wax, and the one that goes into the widest range of products.
Slabs · pastilles · liquid bulk · fully refined · semi-refined · blended
Hard, low-oil grades for pillar, moulded, drawn and dipped candles. Higher congealing for moulded work, a touch softer for drawn and dipped.
Soft blends with strong wall adhesion and a clean look on the jar wall, that take up fragrance well. RAL quality-mark options for retail lines.
Coating and laminating waxes and blends for barrier and high gloss on paper and board. Food-contact grades for food packaging.
Fully refined and high-melt blended grades to set open time and viscosity in your hot melt. The higher the congealing point, the more heat the bond survives.
Soft fully refined grades with the consistency creams, lotions and depilatory waxes need. Ph. Eur. and BfR-compliant options.
Slack and semi-refined waxes for emulsion makers, board sizing and blenders who refine or compound their own. Supplied liquid, in drums or flexitanks.

¹ Top of band is a drop point on the highest-melt blend. Bands span the grades we supply in each family. Figures are a starting point for sampling; the current TDS and CoA govern.
Fully refined grades in 5 kg slabs, packed in 25 kg boxes or bags. Slack waxes liquid, in drums or flexitanks.
Technical and safety data sheets, a certificate of analysis on every lot, and the declarations your quality team will ask for — sent without you having to chase them. Figures shown on this site are a starting point for sampling; the current TDS and CoA govern.
Pillar and moulded candles run on hard, low-oil grades with congealing around 54–62 °C. Container candles use softer blends that hold to the glass. Tell us the candle type and the burn you want, and we will match the grade.
Yes. Fully refined and blended grades are available against FDA 172.886, FDA 175.105 and BfR XXV. The declaration for the grade comes with the documentation pack.
Oil content and colour. Fully refined grades sit at or below 0.5 % oil in most cases and are white and odourless; semi-refined grades carry more oil and cost less, which suits industrial candles and matches.
Often, yes. Fischer-Tropsch paraffins cover the same congealing range for candles and packaging, with steadier supply. Send us your current specification and we will tell you how close we can get.
Slabs and pastilles for most refined grades, liquid bulk for continuous users, and drums or flexitanks for slack wax. Tell us how your plant takes delivery.
A line or two about what you are making is enough to start — we’ll take it from there.
