Application

Paraffin in solid form is an essential ingredient of a variety of formulations in the chemical industry. In cosmetic applications it is used as an ointment additive, but beyond that it is also used in lotions or lip care products. Furthermore, Paraffin in solid form is an important ingredient in pharmaceutical products. Due to its film formation, it is used, for example, as a coating for tablets, but also as a histological aid for tissue preparation.

In the food sector, Paraffin is used to seal certain products (cheese production). There are also a wide range of technical applications where production would be unthinkable without Paraffin. Examples include cleaning and care products in wood and furniture construction, and automotive coatings. But rust and building protection are also important areas of application for kerosenes.
