Description
Paraffin Wax is a fully refined, petroleum-derived wax and one of the most widely used raw materials in commercial candle manufacturing. Valued for its strong fragrance throw, vibrant colour retention, and consistent, affordable performance, paraffin remains the primary choice for manufacturers producing pillar, votive, tealight, and container candles at scale.
Supplied by Liana Health Care Pvt. Ltd., Meerut (Est. 2010), our paraffin wax is sourced to consistent candle-grade quality, giving manufacturers a dependable, cost-effective base for high-volume candle production.
Whether you're a startup testing your first formulation or a commercial manufacturer running large production batches, we supply pack sizes to match your stage of business — from small trial packs to bulk wholesale quantities.
Because it's fully refined, candle-grade paraffin wax burns cleanly, holds dye colour vibrantly, and carries fragrance oil more efficiently than most natural waxes, which is why it remains the industry standard for high-volume commercial candle production.

What is paraffin wax used for in candle making?
Paraffin wax is used as a primary candle wax for pillar, votive, container, and tealight candles, valued for its strong fragrance throw, vibrant colour retention, and consistent, affordable performance.
What is paraffin wax made from?
Paraffin wax is a byproduct of petroleum refining, processed and refined into a solid, white-to-translucent wax suitable for candle manufacturing.
Is paraffin wax better than soy wax for candles?
Neither is objectively better; paraffin wax generally offers stronger fragrance throw and lower cost, while soy wax is plant-based and burns with less soot. The right choice depends on the manufacturer's product positioning and target market.
What is the melting point of paraffin wax?
Paraffin wax typically has a melting point between 54°C and 61°C, with different grades formulated for different candle types such as container, pillar, or moulded candles.
How much fragrance oil can paraffin wax hold?
Paraffin wax generally supports fragrance oil loads of 5% to 10?pending on the candle type, with container candles tolerating the higher end of this range due to paraffin's efficient fragrance-carrying capacity.
Can different melt-point grades of paraffin wax be used for different candles?
Yes, lower melt-point paraffin (46-54°C) is typically used for container candles, while higher melt-point grades (57-61°C) are used for pillar or moulded candles that need to hold their shape at room temperature.
Does paraffin wax hold candle dye colour well?
Yes, fully refined paraffin wax takes candle dyes cleanly and holds vivid, consistent colour, making it a popular choice for brightly coloured or decorative candles.
Is paraffin wax safe to burn indoors?
Fully refined, candle-grade paraffin wax is widely used in commercial indoor candle products; burn safety depends on proper wick sizing, ventilation, and following standard candle safety practices regardless of wax type.
Where can I buy paraffin wax in bulk for candle manufacturing in India?
Liana Health Care Pvt. Ltd., based in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, supplies fully refined paraffin wax for candle making in pack sizes from 500g for startups and formulation testing up to 25kg and bulk quantities for commercial manufacturers, with wholesale B2B pricing.
Why do commercial candle manufacturers prefer paraffin wax?
