Residue Wax is a petroleum-derived wax obtained as a by-product during the refining and processing of lubricating oils. Excel International supplies high-quality Residue Wax suitable for various industrial applications where economical wax materials are required.
Residue wax typically contains a mixture of wax and oil components, which gives it a soft and flexible consistency. These properties make it suitable for applications where refined wax is not necessary and cost-effective raw materials are preferred for industrial processes.
Residue wax is commonly used in rubber processing, adhesives, wax blends, protective coatings, waterproofing compounds and other industrial applications. It is also used as a raw material in certain wax processing industries.
Excel International supplies residue wax suitable for manufacturers looking for dependable quality and consistent supply for their industrial production needs across India.

Iran Residue Wax — also known in the petroleum industry as Foots Oil or Residue Wax — is a brownish hydrocarbon by-product obtained during the paraffin wax refining process when slack wax is deoiled and pressed. Unlike fully refined paraffin wax, residue wax contains a significant proportion of oil and heavy hydrocarbon fractions, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
This industrial wax is typically yellowish-brown in colour with a blend of wax and oil fractions, providing excellent lubricity, hydrophobicity and flexibility. The product melts at a relatively low range and exhibits viscous behaviour due to its high oil content, enabling it to be used in processes that benefit from both waxy structure and oiliness.
Iran Residue Wax is widely traded globally and is an economical raw material that supports several heavy industries as a functional hydrocarbon mix.
Residue Wax (Foots Oil) is used because it offers:
High Oil Content for Flexibility & Lubricity
Semi-Waxy Chemical Composition (wax + oil fractions)
Cost-Effective Industrial Hydrocarbon Raw Material
Good Binder & Softening Characteristics
Hydrophobic Nature for Waterproofing & Coatings
Its unique structure makes it ideal for industrial processes where refined waxes may be too expensive or unnecessary.
Lubricants & Greases
Adhesives & Sealants
Rubber & Tire Compounds
Matchstick Wax Additive
Polishes & Coatings
Fuel Brick/Briquette Components
Textile & Leather Treatment
Plastic & Compound Manufacturing
Release Agents & Waterproofing Materials
Chemical Blends & Emulsions
Residue Wax provides improved flow, binding and moisture resistance where needed in heavy industry rather than consumer products.
✔ Good mix of wax and oil for enhanced flexibility
✔ Hydrophobic (water repellent) and moisture resistant
✔ Serves as a functional raw material in industrial blends
✔ Exhibits stable drop melting range suitable for manufacturing
✔ Semi-liquid/viscous texture supports easier blending
Because of its wax-oil balance, residue wax acts as a cost-efficient alternative to fully refined waxes in many industrial systems.
Based on typical analysis and your data:
Oil Content: ~65 ± 5 % (high oil fraction)
Wax Content: ~35 ± 5 %
Colour: Yellowish Brown
Drop Melting Point: ~40–45 °C (ASTM D127)
Penetration @ 25 °C (D1321): ~175 (semi-soft)
These properties indicate a heavily oily wax matrix with moderate melting characteristics and a soft structure typical of residue wax grades.
