A petrokimya ve mum hammaddeleri toptan tedarikçisi is a wholesale supplier of petrochemical and wax raw materials — waxes, carbon black, polymers, process oils and industrial chemicals — sold in bulk on a stated origin and grade. Buyers compare suppliers on origin traceability, grade range, minimum order quantity, test documentation and delivery terms rather than price alone. BHD Group supplies this range through two divisions, BHD Chemical and BHD Sourcing.
A petrokimya ve mum hammaddeleri toptan tedarikçisi is a wholesale supplier that sources and delivers petrochemical raw materials — waxes, carbon black, polymers, process oils and industrial chemicals — in bulk, on spec and on a documented origin. Buyers use this term when comparing suppliers on origin, grade range, minimum order quantity and delivery terms, not on price alone. BHD Group operates as a Petrokimya Ve Mum Hammaddeleri Toptan Tedarikçisi across two divisions: BHD Chemical and BHD Sourcing.
- Wax raw materials are solid at ambient temperature and melt between 40–90 °C, a property that defines how they behave in candle and blending processes (ExxonMobil, undated).
- Wholesale wax and petrochemical sourcing spans several product families: waxes, carbon black, polymers, rubber process oils and industrial chemicals.
- Melting-point testing (cooling-curve method) is the standard check wax buyers request before accepting a shipment (ASTM International, undated).
- Candle products sold in the US market are subject to a lead limit on metal-cored wicks under CPSC rules (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, undated).
Who this guide is for
This guide is written for four readers who search this exact phrase for different reasons. Procurement managers at candle and cosmetics manufacturers want a dependable paraffin and petroleum jelly source they can put on a purchase order. Rubber and tyre compounders want carbon black and process oil grades that match their formulation, not a generic listing. Technical and QA staff want to know what test standards apply before they approve a supplier. Import/export coordinators want clarity on minimum order quantities, documentation and shipping terms before they issue an RFQ. Each of these questions gets its own section below.
What criteria should be considered when selecting a wholesale supplier?
Start with origin and traceability. A supplier should state where the material is processed, not just where it is shipped from. BHD works from Turkish-origin material processed to origin, under one accountable house rather than a broker network.
Range and division fit
Check whether the supplier's range matches your actual need. BHD Group runs two divisions, one house: BHD Chemical covers industrial chemicals, carbon black, polymers and rubber process oils; BHD Sourcing covers the wax range — paraffin wax, slack wax, petroleum jelly, liquid paraffin and residue wax (foots oil). A supplier that only lists one family but claims to serve every industry is worth questioning.
Documentation and communication
A dependable supplier answers technical questions in writing before the order, not after the container ships. Ask for the same specification sheet and packing documentation on every repeat order — consistency is what "on spec and on time" actually means in practice.
How are wholesale paraffin and wax prices determined?
Wholesale prices for paraffin wax, slack wax and related petrochemical raw materials move with feedstock cost, order volume, packaging format and freight terms — the same variables that move any refined petroleum product. No public price list can substitute for a quotation against your actual specification and volume, because grade (HP3, M3, UL2 and similar), packaging and Incoterms all change the landed cost. Buyers researching a petrokimya ve mum hammaddeleri toptan tedarikçisi pricing comparison should request quotes on matched specifications, not headline numbers, before drawing a conclusion.
What is the minimum order quantity for bulk raw material purchases?
Minimum order quantity in bulk petrochemical and wax sourcing is set per product, per packaging format and per shipment, and it is confirmed at quotation stage rather than published as a fixed figure. A buyer comparing suppliers should ask the same MOQ question of each one, in the same units, so the comparison is fair.
Which quality certifications should be required for petrochemical raw materials?
Buyers should require a specification sheet for every shipment and ask which test methods the supplier checks against before dispatch. For wax products, melting point by the cooling-curve method is the reference test suppliers and buyers use most (ASTM International, undated); for carbonizable content in paraffin wax, ASTM D612 is the applicable method (ASTM International, undated). Ask any supplier which of these methods they test to, and request the result on the shipment documentation — not just a claim of compliance.
How do delivery timelines and shipping terms work in bulk sourcing?
Delivery timelines in bulk raw material sourcing are set by production slot, packaging format and the Incoterms agreed at order — FOB, CIF and DAP each shift who arranges freight and when title transfers. A supplier that quotes a timeline without naming the Incoterm is giving half an answer. Confirm the term, the port pair and the packaging before treating any date as fixed.
Standards buyers check before ordering wax
| Standard | What it measures | Why a buyer checks it |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM D87 | Melting point of petroleum wax (cooling curve) | Widely used by wax suppliers and buyers, especially for highly paraffinic or crystalline waxes (ASTM International, undated) |
| ASTM D612 | Carbonizable substances in paraffin wax | Confirms purity of the paraffin wax against carbonizable residue (ASTM International, undated) |
| ISO 3841:1977 | Melting point of petroleum waxes (cooling curve) | Historic reference method; withdrawn, and not suited to microcrystalline waxes or blends (ISO, undated) |
| ISO 12524 | Melting characteristics of petrolatums and high-viscosity waxes | Applies where D87/ISO 3841 do not fit petroleum jelly-type products; results can vary by method (ISO, undated) |
Where each family is actually used
Waxes in candle manufacturing
The waxes family, including paraffin wax and slack wax, is used to make pillar candles. Buyers sourcing for economy/utility candles, grave/church/mourning candles or container candles should specify the grade tier they need — buyers typically search White, Snow White or Super Snow White tiers, and slack-wax blending and packaging wax are common inputs for lower-tier candle production.
Waxes in cosmetics and personal care
The waxes family is also used to make cosmetic creams and balms, serving the cosmetics and personal care industry. Petroleum jelly buyers in this segment reference the PJ "Ultra Snow White" (BP-2017, 0.5Y) tier by name when specifying.
Carbon black in tyre manufacturing
The carbon-black family is used to make vehicle tyres, serving the tyre and rubber industry. N-series carbon black grades and anti-ozonant performance are the specification points tyre compounders check first.
Polymers in packaging film
The polymers family is used to make packaging film, serving the packaging industry — buyers here specify PE Polyethylene or PE Wax against film-grade requirements.
Rubber process oils in tyre manufacturing
The rubber-process-oils family is used to make vehicle tyres, serving the tyre and rubber industry, alongside base oil SN 500 grades used in related formulation work.
Industrial chemicals in detergents and fertiliser
The industrial-chemicals family is used to make soap and detergent, serving the detergents and cleaning industry, and to make granular fertiliser spread on cropland, serving the agriculture and fertiliser industry.
What to check before you order
- Confirm the exact grade and tier by name (e.g. paraffin HP3/M3/UL2, PJ Ultra Snow White) — not a generic product description
- Request the melting-point test result (ASTM D87 or equivalent) on the batch you're buying
- Ask which division supplies the material — BHD Chemical or BHD Sourcing — and confirm it matches your application
- Get the minimum order quantity and packaging format in writing before quoting your own customer
- Confirm the Incoterm, port pair and estimated production slot together, not separately
- Ask for origin documentation, not just a shipment address
- Check that the specification sheet matches the test method your QA team actually uses
- Clarify whether the quote is per shipment or a standing price, and for how long it holds

Frequently asked questions
What criteria should be considered when selecting a wholesale supplier for petrochemicals and wax raw materials?
Check origin and traceability, whether the product range actually matches your application, and whether the supplier documents specification sheets and test methods consistently on every order rather than only on request.
How are wholesale paraffin and stearic acid prices determined?
Prices move with feedstock cost, order volume, packaging format and freight terms agreed at quotation. No published price list can substitute for a quote against your exact grade, packaging and Incoterm.
What is the minimum order quantity for bulk raw material purchases?
MOQ is set per product, packaging format and shipment, and confirmed at quotation stage rather than published as a fixed number. Ask each supplier the same question in the same units to compare fairly.
Which quality certifications should be required for petrochemical raw materials?
Require a specification sheet per shipment and ask which test method was used — for wax, melting point by the cooling-curve method (ASTM D87) and carbonizable substances (ASTM D612) are the standard checks buyers request.
How do delivery timelines and shipping terms work in bulk raw material sourcing?
Timelines depend on production slot, packaging and the Incoterm agreed at order — FOB, CIF and DAP shift who arranges freight and when title transfers. Confirm the Incoterm and port pair alongside any date.
