Why Are Fully Refined Paraffin Waxes Preferred for Exported Candles?

2025-12-12

The more a candle factory focuses on exports and large-volume production, the more likely they are to choose fully refined paraffin wax without hesitation. Whether you're making pillar candles, scented candles in jars, religious candles, birthday candles, or various Christmas-themed candles, if you're exporting, fully refined paraffin wax is basically the standard.


I. China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined Grade Has Very High Purity

What is the biggest fear for export candle manufacturers? Not cost, but uncontrollability. For example, in the same batch of goods, some pillar candles might leak oil, some might turn yellow, some jar candles might develop a cloudy surface, and some might deform after two months. These issues might be manageable domestically, but in the European and American markets? Supermarkets will delist the product, platforms will block the listing, and customs inspections might result in rejection and return of the goods... The losses would be far more than just a few boxes of candles.

China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined generally has an oil content of ≤0.5%. It is inherently very clean, with few impurities, a white color, and high transparency. It is less prone to yellowing and oil leakage. This high purity makes the candles more stable from molding to transportation to display on shelves. Especially during long-distance sea shipping through environments with high temperatures and significant humidity changes, the structure of China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined allows the candles to maintain their shape, preventing softening, oil leakage, and discoloration, which is extremely important for exports. Junda Wax has many years of export experience.

II. Hassle-Free for Large-Volume Export Orders

Export orders are usually in quantities of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. At this point, the choice of raw material is not simply about whether it can be used, but whether it can ensure that every single candle is the same. China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined has more controllable hardness, melting point range, and cooling speed. This means that when factories use candle presses, casting equipment, and wicking machines to produce pillar candles, tea lights, and religious candles, the molding process will be more stable, and problems such as shrinkage, cracking, voids, and bubbles are less likely to occur.

Especially for pillar candles, high-melting-point China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined (such as 58℃, 60℃, 62℃) is almost universally used worldwide. It can adapt to cold winters in Northern Europe, temperatures above 40℃ in the Middle East during summer, and large temperature fluctuations during transportation in the United States... China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined has excellent adaptability, allowing the production process to avoid frequent adjustments due to different destination countries, resulting in significantly higher efficiency.


III. Meeting European and American Regulatory Requirements

The most frequently asked questions from our export factory clients are: "Do you have REACH certification? Do you have PAHs certification? Do you have RoHS certification? Can you meet EN15493/EN15494 standards?"  These are mandatory or strongly related requirements for candles in the European and American markets.  China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined, with its low impurity content and low oil content, is relatively easier to pass these tests. Many requirements, such as REACH's SVHC, PAHs' polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and RoHS's heavy metal control, are directly related to the purity of the raw materials. The higher the oil content of the paraffin wax, the greater the risk; the more impurities it contains, the more problems arise during combustion.

IV. Suitable for Mainstream Export Markets in Holiday, Religious, and Home Decor Categories

Christmas red, green, and gold; Halloween black and orange; Easter pastel colors; bright colors for birthday number candles; pure white for church candles... these are all major categories for exported candles. The biggest challenge in coloring is when the base color is not white.

China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined has a white color and good transparency, making it easier to achieve accurate and consistent colors, whether bright or highly saturated.  It avoids the problem of "this batch is yellowish, that batch is grayish." Semi-refined paraffin wax, due to its yellowish base color, often requires the addition of extra white pigment to "correct the base color," which is costly and unstable.

Export clients highly value consistency.  Every batch must be exactly the same; otherwise, complaints from overseas consumers can be very troublesome. Therefore, for products with high color requirements, using China Wax Paraffin Fully Refined is a very suitable choice.


V. Adapting to Different Climates Worldwide: From the Middle East to Northern Europe, Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Withstands All Conditions

As a paraffin wax kunlun supplier, Junda Wax has many years of experience in overseas exports, and our orders come from all over the world:

— High-temperature transportation above 40℃ in the Middle East;

— Storage at sub-zero temperatures in Northern Europe;

— Humid environments in Southeast Asia;

— Large temperature differences during transportation across the Americas.

The advantages of Fully Refined paraffin wax are its selectable melting point, high hardness, stable structure, and strong temperature resistance. It is less likely to soften and collapse in the Middle East, less likely to crack in Northern Europe, and less likely to bleed oil or deform in humid and hot regions. This means that factories can standardize raw materials, reduce formula adjustments, significantly improve production efficiency, and reduce cross-border transportation risks. VII.
