Crystal 56


Characteristic

Crystal 56 paraffins are high-quality hydrotreated paraffins.

In the process of clarification, raw paraffin undergoes a catalytic reaction with hydrogen, as a result of which the sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen compounds contained are removed.

In addition, the hydrotreatment process saturates multiple bonds, which results in high resistance to oxidation.

Crystal 56 paraffin fulfills the requirements of the RAL standard and holds a Polish Hygiene Institute certificate.
