Slack Wax is the feedstock for parrafin, which is a mixture of oil and wax. It is a byproduct derived in the process of producing Lube cut. During paraffin wax production, Slack wax is feuded into the system as raw material which is finally processed into different grades of Paraffin Wax after performing the refining processes, defiling and bleaching. The oil extracted during the defiling process, is a byproduct called ‘residue wax’ (aka Foots Oil). Slack wax is naturally brown in color, ranging from 4% oil content to more than 35% generally,
