Residue Wax

Westinol Residue Wax, also known as Foots Oil, is a versatile byproduct derived from slack wax deoiling during the production of paraffin wax. It is a semi-solid material at room temperature that melts between 40°C and 60°C, with excellent lubrication and waterproofing properties.

Key Characteristics of Westinol Residue Wax:

• Flash Point: 200-210°C, ensuring high-temperature stability.
• Oil Content: Available in 45-60% (Residue Wax 1) and 45-50% (Residue Wax 2) grades.
• Melting Point: 40-45°C for easy application in various processes.
• Viscosity at 100°C: 4-6 cSt for Residue Wax 1 and 3.5-4.5 cSt for Residue Wax 2.
• Color: Light color ranging from 1 to 2 (ASTM D-1500), indicating purity and refinement.
• Penetration (Residue Wax 1): 150-170, providing flexibility and adaptability in industrial applications.

Applications of Residue Wax (Foots Oil):

• Petroleum Jelly Production: Key raw material for refining into high-purity products.
• Rubber and Leather Industry: Acts as a softening and waterproofing agent.
• Textiles: Provides finishing and lubrication for enhanced fabric quality.
• Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: Used in ointments, creams, and lotions.
• Industrial Lubricants and Polishes: Contributes to gloss and smoothness.

Packaging and Handling:
Westinol Residue Wax is supplied in new steel drums to ensure safe transport and storage. The product should be stored at temperatures below 50°C, away from oxidizing materials, to maintain quality and prevent degradation.

Westinol’s commitment to quality ensures that our residue wax meets industry standards, delivering consistent performance across various applications.
