Foots Oil – High-Performance By-Product of Paraffin Wax Production — Export from Iran
Foots Oil is a valuable by-product obtained during the production of solid paraffin wax. It is a complex mixture containing 30–50% liquid hydrocarbons and fatty acids, making it ideal for industrial applications that require a semi-solid or viscous base with excellent stability.
Available in liquid or semi-solid form depending on oil content, Foots Oil exhibits high chemical stability, low aromatic content, and minimal sulfur, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments. It is widely used in rubber, plastics, lubricants, and industrial coatings.
Note: This product is industrial-grade and not intended for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic use.
🛢️ Janis Group Foots Oil Capability: We supply Foots Oil as a direct by-product of Iranian paraffin wax refineries, with oil content customizable between 30–50% based on buyer specifications. Every shipment is SGS-inspected for viscosity, congealing point, and oil content, and shipped in steel drums, HDPE drums, or flexi-bags to rubber, plastics, and lubricant manufacturers across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Key Notes
- By-Product of Paraffin Wax: Sustainable and cost-effective industrial raw material — more economical than virgin base oils.
- High Oil Content (30–50%): Provides flexibility in formulation and processing.
- Liquid to Semi-Solid Form: Varies based on oil content and ambient temperature.
- Low Aromatics & Sulfur: Environmentally favorable and safe for industrial use.
- High Chemical Stability: Resistant to oxidation and degradation over time — 24-month shelf life in sealed containers.
- Storage: Keep in cool, dry, ventilated area. Gentle warming (below 60°C) restores liquid form for higher-viscosity grades.
- Pre-shipment inspection by SGS included for every shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Foots Oil is a by-product of paraffin wax production (30–50% oil + wax components), while Base Oil is refined from crude. Foots Oil is significantly more cost-effective while providing similar lubricating and plasticizing properties.
30% = semi-solid (rubber compounding), 40% = balanced all-purpose (plastics, adhesives), 50% = fully liquid (lubricant blending, spray applications).
Yes. Foots Oil 30–40% is widely used as a processing aid and softener in tire and rubber production. Low aromatics and sulfur ensure compatibility without degradation or odor.
Minimum order is 200 MT, available in steel drums (175 kg), HDPE drums, or flexi-bags (18–22 MT per 20ft container). Bulk tanks (10,000–30,000 L) available for monthly contracts.
Cool, dry, ventilated area, sealed containers. Shelf life is 24 months. Grades 30–40% may solidify below 25°C — gentle warming below 60°C restores liquid form without quality loss.
