Slack Wax

Slack wax, a by-product of the oil refining process, has numerous industrial applications. It serves as a precursor for producing paraffin wax and scale wax. This naturally brown, highly viscous refinery output undergoes various refining processes to yield different grades of paraffin.

Slack wax is classified into two main types: Heavy and Light. Light slack wax is essential for producing fully refined paraffin wax. Despite the consistent specifications across its grades, slack wax’s properties include water resistance, thermal and electrical insulation, lubricating qualities, and the ability to melt without decomposition.

Arij as the Slack Wax Supplier

The applications of slack wax are diverse, including the production of wax emulsions, construction boards, matches, glass wool, textile treatments, synthetic fire logs, inks, weed barriers, carbon paper, composite wood panels, chemicals and fertilizers, paraffin wax, and candles. It is employed as a processing aid in rubber compound flow. Rubber compounds containing slack wax offer less surface cracking of rubber parts by forming a protective layer that prevents rubber cracking. Thus, the rise in demand for slack wax as an antiozonant agent for the prevention of the cracking of rubber compounds is driving the global slack wax market share.

The global production capacity of slack wax is significant, with the market valued at around USD 730 million in 2023. The market is expected to grow, driven by demand in various industries such as rubber, cosmetics, and candle manufacturing. The Middle East plays a notable role in this market, particularly due to its extensive crude oil refining operations. However, specific figures on the Middle East’s exact share of global slack wax production capacity are not readily available.
