Paraffin wax is not used much to make original models for casting, as it is relatively brittle at room temperature and usually cannot be cold-carved without excessive chipping and breaking. Soft, pliable waxes such as beeswax are preferred for modeling.

Impure mixtures of mostly paraffin wax are used in wax baths for beauty and therapy purposes.

Slack Wax is the primary raw material for manufacturing of paraffin wax, foots oil etc.

Semi-refined Paraffin Wax used in candles, torches, tapers, matches, floor polishes, car polishes, corrosion protectors, electrical industries, cable filling compounds, tires and rubber products, as ozone protection, paper production, carbon paper, crayons and pencils etc.

Bitumen is a mixture of organic liquids that are highly viscous, black, sticky, entirely soluble in carbon disulfide and composed primarily of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Bitumen is the residual fraction obtained by fractional distillation of crude oil. It is the heaviest fraction and the one with the highest boiling point.

• Bitumen is primarily used for paving roads.
• Its other uses are for general waterproofing products including the use of bitumen in the production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs.
• It is also the prime feed stock for petroleum production from tar sands.
• In the past, bitumen was used to waterproof boats and even as a coating for buildings; it is possible, for example, that the city of Carthage was easily burnt down due to extensive use of bitumen in construction.
• Vessels for the heating of bitumen or bituminous compounds are usually excluded from public liability insurance policies.
• Bitumen are found also in meteorites, archean rocks, copper, zinc mineralizations, caves.
• It is possible that bitumens are primordial material formed during accretion of the earth and reworked by bacteria that eat hydrocarbons.

Base oil or white oil or liquid petrolatum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a chemically inert, transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum. Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value and it is produced in very large quantities. Mineral oil is available in light and heavy grades and can often be found in drug stores.

Its Applications are :

• Refined petroleum oil is used as transformer oil.
• The oil prevents the metals from reacting with atmospheric moisture.
• Lubrication, Fuel, for items such as oil lamps.
• Electric mineral-oil-filled space heaters.
• Coolant, Automotive and aviation brake fluid that does not absorb water molecules by osmosis.
• Low viscosity base oil is sold as a preservative for wooden cutting boards and utensils.
• A coating of mineral oil protects metal surfaces from moisture and oxidation.
• Food-preparation butcher block surfaces are often conditioned periodically with white oil.
• It works (albeit poorly) as a release agent for molds, especially in fiberglass casting.
• It is used as a release agent for baking pans and trays etc.

Vaseline is a well-known brand of petrolatum (petroleum jelly). Petrolatum is a flammable, semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, having a melting-point usually ranging from a little below to a few degrees above 100° F (37° C). It is colorless or of a pale yellow color, translucent and devoid of taste and smell. It does not oxidize on exposure to the air and is not readily acted on by chemical reagents. It is insoluble in water. It is soluble in chloroform, benzene, carbon disulfide and oil of turpentine.

Its Applications are :

• Skin Ointment, Hair Vaseline, Cold Cream, Cosmetic preparations and Pharmaceutical Industry
• Vaseline primarily as an ointment for scrapes, burns and cuts.
• Toady consumers began to use Vaseline for a myriad of ailments including chapped hands or lips, toenail fungus, nosebleeds, diaper rash, chest colds, nasal congestion and even to remove stains from furniture.
• Most petrolatum today is consumed as an ingredient in skin lotions and cosmetics.
• Petroleum jelly was formerly used as a way to pitch a spitball in baseball.

Rubber process oils are produced using an advanced hydro cracking and catalytic dewaxing process that yields extremely pure colorless products, virtually free of aromatics, polar compounds and sulfur. These highly refined oils exhibit properties that are ideal for use as process oils and extenders in rubber, plastics, adhesives and numerous other applications. Rpo 290 and Rpo 245 are rubber process oils which can be used in rubber production and carbon black production. We can produce Rpo in different viscosities. Rubber process oils are intermediate product with excellent processability, loading (filler), characteristics and tensile properties. Having anti-oxidation, cooling, lubricating and cleaning properties, this white oil is widely used in the cosmetics industry. It can applied as the basis of emulsion, hair oil, lipstick, face oil, lotion, baby lotion, and vanishing cream ointment. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, for treatment of light diarrhea and for the production of penicillin.

End use products include:

• “Under the hood” automotive parts
• Pulp & paper defoamers
• Spray oils for herbicides and pesticides
• Automotive moldings
• Sports equipment
• Rubber membranes
• Roofing materials
• Sealants
• Coatings
• Adhesives
• Footwear
• Textiles & textile fiber

Petrochemicals are chemical products made from raw materials of petroleum (hydrocarbon) origin.

The two main classes of raw materials are olefins (including ethylene and propylene) and aromatics (including benzene and xylene isomers), both of which are produced in very large quantities, mainly by the steam cracking and catalytic reforming of refinery hydrocarbons. From these basic building blocks are made a very wide range of raw materials used in industry - plastics, resins, fibres, solvents, detergents etc.

The largest petrochemical industries are to be found in the USA and Western Europe, though the major growth in new production capacity is in the Middle East and Asia. There is a substantial inter-regional trade in petrochemicals of all kinds.

Petroleum products are useful materials derived from crude oil (petroleum) as it is processed in oil refineries.

According to crude oil composition and demand, refineries can produce different shares of petroleum products. Largest share of oil products is used as energy carriers: various grades of fuel oil and gasoline.

Refineries also produce other chemicals, some of which are used in chemical processes to produce plastics and other useful materials.

Since petroleum often contains a couple of percent sulfur, large quantities of sulfur are also often produced as a petroleum product. Carbon and hydrogen may also be produced as petroleum products.

The hydrogen produced is often used as an intermediate product for other oil refinery processes such as hydrogen catalytic cracking (hydrocracking) and hydrodesulfurization.
