Production Process Paraffin Waxes

For decades we have been fulfilling our customers quality requirements by offering a wide variety of petroleum wax products.

The key to this product variety is

  • a considerable selection of raw material sourced globally

  • highly developed production technology along with ongoing improvements

    Paraffin wax production in our refinery in Hamburg is based on slack wax, a mixture of oil and wax, which is a by-product of the lubrication oil refinery process.

    Through de-oiling of slack wax we obtain base waxes of different oil content. These base waxes are hydro-treated, resulting in Fully Refined Paraffin Waxes (FRP) with an oil content of maximum 0.5 % and Semi Refined Paraffin Waxes (SRP) with an oil content up to 3.5 %. Hydro-treated paraffin waxes correspond to RAL Quality Mark for Candles and fulfil the required food-and-drug regulations.

    Through blending, we create value-added petroleum waxes which specifically match our customers´ requirements.

    Our products are either sold in liquid form or solidified into slabs, powder and prills.
