This semi refined paraffin wax page carries a specification table by grade — oil content on every grade, and melting point, flash point, kinematic viscosity, density, colour and penetration where each grade's technical data sheet states them, side by side — for buyers who need the working numbers before quoting. BHD Chemical supplies these grades for candlemaking and blending use, with values confirmed on the certificate of analysis issued against each batch.
BHD Chemical supplies semi refined paraffin wax to candle makers, wax distributors and industrial blenders, backed by a specification sheet and consistent batch quality on every shipment.

Key characteristics
Consistent melt behaviour batch to batch, supported by the CoA
Low-odour grade suited to candle and blending lines
Stable performance across repeated melt-pour cycles
Uniform texture that blends predictably with other waxes
Quietly reliable supply from a single accountable house
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax
Paraffin wax is one of the headline goods in the BHD Chemical range, supplied as a semi refined grade for container candles, economy and utility candle production, and grave, church and mourning candles. It also moves through slack-wax blending programmes and packaging wax applications where buyers set their own finishing specification.
Form and Packaging
Supplied in bulk and packaged formats to match candle-line and blending requirements. Packaging configuration is confirmed at order stage against the buyer's process.
Quality Documentation
Each batch ships with a certificate of analysis referencing the values on this page's specification table, so procurement and QA teams can verify melt point, oil content and the rest of the profile against their own intake criteria before the wax enters production.
Sourcing
Turkish-origin supply, moved through one accountable house rather than a broker chain — origin integrity buyers can trace back to source.

Frequently asked questions
What documentation ships with each batch of paraffin wax?
A certificate of analysis covering the properties listed in the specification table, so your QA team can verify the batch against your own intake criteria before it enters production.
Can I get a paraffin wax spec suited to slack-wax blending?
Yes. Paraffin wax from BHD Chemical is supplied for slack-wax blending and packaging wax use as well as direct candlemaking — confirm the blend ratio and finishing spec with our team at order stage.
What is the origin of BHD's paraffin wax?
Turkish-origin, supplied through BHD Chemical as one accountable house rather than a broker chain.
How is packaging handled for bulk versus smaller orders?
Packaging format is confirmed at order stage to match your candle-line or blending process.
What lead time should I plan for a paraffin wax order?
Lead time depends on order volume and packaging format — contact our team with your specification and quantity for a confirmed schedule.
