Paraffin waxes and formulations thereof used in the construction industry as auxiliaries offer a vast array of advantages. It is our challenge to constantly develop and support established and new applications with our specially designed products for this industry.

We place emphasis on the following areas:

    • Concrete surfaces  -  to ensure even curing
    • Residential construction  -  for the improvement of the insulation
      properties of building materials used for house construction.
    • Ceramic and refractory industry  -  to provide green-strength,
      acting as sintering aid, lubricating and processing aid.
    • Tarpaulins  -  specialty wax formulations act as lubricating and
      sealing agent.
    • Insulation material  -  specialty wax formulations and oil emulsions
      are commonly used as dust binders and hydrophobing aids.
