Paraffin's downstream is migrating from candles and matches to food-packaging coatings, cosmetic bases and PVC external lubricants; food-grade (GB 7189) and cosmetic-grade certification are the key gate for premium switching.

Domestic by-product wax is ample as refinery runs recover; fully-refined paraffin gains export cost-edge, with Southeast Asia and the Middle East as main growth markets; microcrystalline wax use in hot-melt adhesive and rubber protection is also rising.

SNSUC places paraffin, white oil and liquid paraffin on one comparable shelf with unified QC labels and digital warrants, easing price comparison and volume locking for downstream packaging, personal-care and plastics firms.
