In the fertilizer industry waxes and special blends are used as dust binders and anti-caking additives.
Solid fertilizers sometimes tend to dust causing handling problems as mass product without any packaging. Our waxes used in this application protect against dust and minimize losses of the fine particle fraction.

Anti-caking additives are required when the fertilizer particles tend to block due to hygroscopy of the mixture. Here speciality wax blends offer solutions for handling, storage and dosage problems.

We develop those blends especially designed for customers' fertilizers.
