IOCL Wax Dana Form About

IndianOil Paraffin Wax is a high-quality petroleum-based wax manufactured by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). It is available in Dana Form (granular/pellet form), which offers faster melting, easy handling, accurate dosing, and clean processing for industrial applications.

The wax is produced from refined petroleum fractions and consists mainly of saturated hydrocarbon compounds. IOCL Paraffin Wax is known for its excellent whiteness, low oil content, odorless nature, stable melting characteristics, and smooth finish. It is widely used in candle manufacturing, cosmetics, packaging, rubber, polish, textile, pharmaceutical, electrical insulation, waterproofing, and adhesive industries.

Dana-form wax is especially preferred in automated manufacturing plants because the uniform granules melt evenly and reduce production time compared to slab wax.
