Importer & supplier across India · New Delhi · Mundra · Kandla · Bhiwandi · Tuticorin
Overview
Gomti International supplies a range of semi-refined and refined paraffin waxes for candle manufacturing, coatings, rubber, packaging and other industrial applications.
Paraffin Wax is a petroleum-derived crystalline wax offering controlled melting characteristics, low oil content and consistent processing performance. Different grades are available according to required oil content, melting/congealing point, colour, penetration and viscosity.
Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax
Semi-Refined Paraffin Wax is produced through the controlled refining of slack wax. It is a solid crystalline material that becomes a clear liquid when molten and is widely used across candle, coating, waterproofing and other industrial applications.
Available in different oil-content ranges to suit different manufacturing and cost requirements.
Applications
Candle Manufacturing
Suitable for household, decorative and industrial candles, with different grades available according to required melting characteristics and oil content.

Used in selected waterproofing, coated-fabric and moisture-barrier applications.
Coatings & Polishes
Used as a wax component in industrial coatings, polishes and surface-protection formulations.
Packaging & Paper
Used in selected paper, board and packaging applications requiring moisture resistance or wax coating.
Rubber & Industrial Products
Used in selected rubber formulations, wax blends and other industrial manufacturing processes.
Matches & Insulation Materials
Suitable grades can be used in match manufacturing and selected insulation applications.
