With their adaptable molecular structure our paraffin waxes, microcrystalline waxes and blends thereof are used as components in UV and Ozone protection systems in the rubber and tyre industry.
Their flexibility and migration properties provide sustainable UV filter and anti-ozone protection. Our waxes also act as carriers for additional protective chemicals.

Sasolwax grades are approved by the leading global tyre producers.

Sasolwax paraffin waxes also act as lubricants in the extrusion of technical rubber.
