<![CDATA[Wax is solid material product and derivative product of natural oil processing. It has various level of smoothness. flexibility and melting point. PT. Pertamina Processing Unit (UP) V Balikpapan is one of wax products in East Kalimantan. Indonesia. Pertamina produces 5 (five) types of wox which are Fully Refined Wax (FRW). Hard Hard Paper (HHP). Hard Semi Refined wax (HSR). Yellow Batik Wax (YBW) and Match Wax (MW). These waxes are produced by four steps processes like dewaxing. sweating. treating and molding. In domestic purposes. HHP is used for the raw material of paper coating industry: HSR is used for the material of lighting wax products and for the raw material of another type of wax. FRW Match Wax is used the raw material of match processing. yellow batik wax is used for batik WaX and FRW (export grade) is used for fruit coating industry and cosmetic. )n the production of sweating with VTS (vertical tube stove). domestic grade is produced and It and it includes HHP.

The process of making Fully Refined Wax in the laboratory scale uses HSR wax with 14% oil content. yellow to brown color and grasy. melting point 580-600 C. This process includes de-oiling process (to reduce oil content) step by step (every 2 degrees) heating from the temperature 480C to 580C (melting point of oil). Therefore the change of color occurs from yellow to bright white. not oily and odorless like the type of FRW wax.]]>
