Slack Wax

Slack Wax characterizes:

Slack Wax is produced during the production of Group I lube base oil. During the production of Group I base oil, the feedstock first has to go through a solvent extraction process to remove aromatics and the resultant product is called raffinate. The raffinate is then diluted with a solvent like methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK) to lower its viscosity to improve low-temperature filterability. The diluted oil is chilled to -10°C to -20°C. Wax crystals will form, precipitate, and be removed by filtration, and the removed wax becomes Slack Wax. According to the refinery process of this product, Slack wax is categorized into two types: Heavy and Light. Light Slack Wax is mainly used to produce paraffin wax. Slack is a mixture of oil and wax in yellow or brown color, slack wax is processed by pressing to decrease the oil content and discoloring by special powders after heating to produce paraffin wax.
