Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of paraffin wax+
Paraffin's straight-chain structure gives a sharp melting point, low melt viscosity and a hard, crystalline solid at room temperature. In hot-melt adhesives it cuts viscosity and controls set speed; in packaging and board it forms a moisture barrier; in rubber it migrates to the surface as an ozone-protective bloom.
Selecting the right grade+
Melting point, oil content and degree of refinement define the grade, and fully refined, semi refined and slack wax are distinct commercial products. End use and any food-contact or regulatory requirement determine what is quoted.
Documentation and specification+
Properties differ between producers and between grades of the same material. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between fully refined and semi refined wax?+
The distinction is oil content and refining depth, which affect colour, odour and suitability for sensitive applications. They are separate specifications — state the application so the correct grade is quoted.
Which grade will I be quoted?+
The grade is set by your specification. Share the target performance, process conditions and any customer or regulatory requirement in the RFQ and the matching grade is confirmed with the supplier before quotation.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver across Ontario and Quebec?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
