Searching for a food contact grade wax supplier starts with one plain question: what exactly is in the catalogue, and how refined is it? BHD Chemical carries paraffin wax, slack wax and related wax grades, and our waxes are semi-refined. We make no food-contact suitability or certification claim. We give you the specification so your own team can decide.
BHD Chemical, a division of BHD Group, carries semi-refined paraffin wax, slack wax and related wax grades. It makes no food-contact suitability or certification claim for these waxes. Buyers with food-contact requirements can request the paraffin wax specification and confirm suitability against their own criteria.
If you are looking for a food contact grade wax supplier, here is our position. BHD Chemical carries paraffin wax, slack wax and related wax grades, and all of them are semi-refined. We make no food-contact suitability or certification claim. Request the paraffin wax specification so your own team can check it against your requirements before you enquire.
What buyers checking food-contact requirements need from a wax supplier
A buyer working to food-contact requirements needs more than a price list. The work depends on a clear account of what the wax is, how it is made, and what the supplier will and will not claim. Vague answers slow down qualification and put the risk back on the buyer.
That is why we start with the refinement level. BHD Chemical's waxes are semi-refined. We do not carry higher-refinement grades, and we do not present our waxes as suitable for food contact. Whether a grade meets your requirements is for your quality team to confirm against the specification.
Input consistency
Procurement and QA teams need to know what arrives, batch after batch. Talk to us about the parameters that matter to your assessment, such as oil content and melt point. We will tell you plainly which specification data we can provide for each grade.
Documentation you can test against
A compliance lead needs a datasheet with measurable parameters, not adjectives. Ask for the paraffin wax specification and review it against your own food-contact requirements, test methods and declaration needs. If a document you need is not available, we will say so.
Supply cadence without over-promising
Bulk buyers plan around dependable delivery. We agree volumes and dates only once the grade, quantity and terms are clear, and we hold ourselves to on spec and on time. We would rather give a careful answer than quote a timeline we cannot keep.
The wax grades in our catalogue
Our Waxes family is where the procurement buyer, the QA lead and the packaging wax technologist will find the grades we carry. Each can be checked against your own criteria before any order.
- Paraffin wax: semi-refined paraffin. Buyers often search by grade names such as HP3, M3 and UL2. Ask us which grade matches your enquiry.
- Slack wax: carried for buyers working on slack-wax blending.
- Residue wax (foots oil), PE wax and petroleum jelly: related catalogue products, available with specifications on request.
You can browse the full Waxes product family to compare grades.
Two divisions, one accountable house
BHD Group trades through two divisions: BHD Chemical, which handles the wax catalogue, and BHD Sourcing. Behind both stands one accountable house. The person who signs off the purchase deals with a single counterpart for the specification, the quote and the delivery, not a chain of brokers.
For technologists planning a trial
If you are evaluating a paraffin grade and want to run a trial, start with the specification. Then talk to us about a trial quantity and any technical questions about the grade.
Request the paraffin wax specification
The quickest route to a clear answer is the datasheet. Request the paraffin wax specification, check it against your requirements, and send us your quote enquiry with your compliance criteria named. We will respond with what we can supply, stated plainly.
Our commitments
Documentation on request
Specification and shipping documents are shared before you trial or qualify a grade, not after.
Consistent supply
Repeat shipments are planned against the same origin and specification, so your line runs unchanged.
One named contact
A single accountable point of contact across both divisions answers on spec, lead time and terms.
