Slack / Scale Waxes

Slack wax is the crude wax produced by chilling and solvent filter-pressing wax distillate. There are basically three types of slack wax produced, the type depending on the viscosity of the lube oil being dewaxed: low neutral, medium neutral, and heavy neutral.

Scale wax is essentially a cost effective alternative to a fully refined paraffin wax. The primary difference is the oil content, which ranges from 1% to 1.5% and lower melt points.
