Application

Paraffin in its solid state is an essential ingredient of a variety of formulations in the chemical industry. It is used in cosmetic applications as an ointment additive, but equally as a component in lotions or lip care products. Solid Paraffin is also an important component in pharmaceutical products due to its film formation, for example as a coating in tableting, but also as a histology aid for tissue preparation.

In the food sector, Paraffin is used to seal certain products, for example in cheese production. Similarly, there are many technical applications where production without Paraffin would be unthinkable. Examples include cleaning and care products in wood and furniture construction, as well as automotive coatings. But rust and building protection are also important areas of application for paraffins.
