Liquid paraffin from BHD Chemical is a semi-refined mineral oil supplied with a documented specification covering colour, density, flash point, kinematic viscosity and pour point, as carried in the specification table for this grade. Buyers searching for a liquid paraffin supplier can verify each batch against a Certificate of Analysis built from those same properties.
BHD Chemical supplies liquid paraffin to candle makers, cosmetics formulators and wax distributors who need a semi-refined grade delivered on spec and on time. As a liquid paraffin supplier working from Turkish-origin material, we hold viscosity, colour and flash point within the range stated on the specification table for every batch — no rounding, no guesswork, just the numbers a procurement team can check against the CoA.

What this grade is
Liquid paraffin from BHD Chemical is a semi-refined mineral oil used as a raw material by candle makers, cosmetics blenders and industrial formulators. It is one product inside the wider Waxes family, alongside Paraffin Wax and Slack Wax — the range this business is built around.
Form and handling
Supplied as a clear, low-odour liquid, it is packed for bulk and drum shipment depending on order volume, with density and pour point held within the ranges on the specification table so it handles predictably from tank to blending line.
Quality documentation
Every consignment ships with a Certificate of Analysis referencing the same properties carried in the specification table — colour, density, flash point, kinematic viscosity and pour point — so your quality team can verify the batch against the sheet before it goes into production.
Where it fits
Liquid paraffin sits alongside Paraffin Wax, Petroleum Jelly and Slack Wax in the Waxes family — the range BHD Chemical leads with, sold to blenders and formulators who need origin integrity and a consistent spec, not a catalogue of grades with no point of view.
