Frequently Asked Questions
Is paraffin wax the same as chlorinated paraffin wax (CPW)?
No. Paraffin wax (CAS 8002-74-2) is a solid petroleum wax supplied in slabs, used in candles, coatings, and wax blends. Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW, CAS 63449-39-8) is a chemically different product — a plasticizer for PVC processing — which we list separately at /products/chlorinated-paraffin-wax-cpw.
What is the CAS number and HSN code for paraffin wax?
Paraffin wax carries CAS 8002-74-2 and HSN code 2712 20 00. Our fully refined grade conforms to IS 4654.
What is the difference between hard and light paraffin wax?
The grades differ by melting point. Hard paraffin wax congeals at 58–62 °C; light paraffin wax melts at 46–50 °C. Our TDS covers the fully refined hard grade — white translucent slabs, 0.5% mass max oil content, Saybolt colour +28 min.
What grades of paraffin wax do you supply, and who manufactures it?
We supply fully refined paraffin wax to IS 4654, sourced from Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL), Manali Refinery, Chennai — a Government of India enterprise in the IndianOil group. Industrial, technical, and food grade (FCC) options are available on request.
What is the flash point of paraffin wax?
Flash point (COC) is 200 °C minimum. Paraffin wax is a combustible solid and molten wax causes thermal burns — store it away from heat and open flame, and handle molten product with heat-resistant gloves.
What is the price of paraffin wax per kg in Chennai, and how is it packed?
We quote current pricing on request — call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096. We pack 50 kg slabs in HDPE-lined bags, 25 kg and 50 kg cartons (slab form), and 25 kg bags (pastille form), dispatched from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock.
