Find the perfect option to fit your needs with Epredia™ Paraffin Type 1, 3, 6, 9: Four different blends of highly refined paraffin and polymers, offering a choice of infiltration times and cutting characteristics


  • All paraffins melt between 55° and 57°C and are triple filtered to 0.5µm
  • Flake form has a greater surface-to-weight ratio than pellets
  • Faster melting time
  • Type 1 contains no polymer and offers rapid infiltration
  • Type 3 contains minimal polymer and offers fast infiltration
  • Type 6 is harder than Type 3 and allows for thinner sections
  • Type 9 has the highest polymer content available and yields extremely thin sections


These blends of highly refined paraffin and polymers offer a choice of infiltration times and cutting characteristics to meet the needs of individual laboratories. They feature excellent ribboning properties, melting points of 55 to 57°C (131 to 135°F), and triple filtration to 0.5µm. Case of ten 0.9kg (2lbs.) bags.
