Kerafine 93 Paraffin Wax - Pellets

Specially used for polishes, this paraffin has a high melting point of 93°.

Kerafine 93 is a paraffin with an even higher melting point than kerafines 60-62, making it suitable for applications requiring high thermal stability.

Packaged in 25kg bags, in pellet form

Kerafine 93 characteristics:

• Melting point: Approximately 93 degrees Celsius.
• Composition: Like other paraffins, Kerafine 93 is composed mainly of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) with a linear or slightly branched molecular structure.
• Appearance: Solid, often white or slightly translucent.
• Viscosity: Typically low at temperatures above its melting point, allowing for good handling and application.

Typical uses:

• Industrial applications:
  • Protective coatings and waxes: Used to protect metal surfaces or other materials requiring protection at high temperatures.
• Textile Industry: Used in some textile finishes where high heat resistance is required.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
  • Lipsticks and Balms: Used to stabilize formulations that must withstand body temperatures without melting.
• Lubricants:
  • High Temperature: Used in lubricant formulations for machinery and equipment operating at elevated temperatures.

Advantages:

• Thermal Stability: Its ability to maintain strength and properties at elevated temperatures makes it ideal for applications where other paraffins would melt or become ineffective.
• Protection and Insulation: Provides an excellent barrier to moisture and corrosive agents, while resisting high temperatures.
• Potential Disadvantages:
• Handling: High melting point requires equipment capable of heating the paraffin to high temperatures to melt and handle it.
• Cost: Potentially more expensive than paraffins with lower melting points, due to production complexity and specific applications.

In summary, Kerafine 93 is a high temperature paraffin, mainly used in applications requiring high thermal stability and effective protection at high temperatures.
