Paraffin Wax

We offer IGI Wax’s fully refined paraffin waxes with low, medium and high melting point options.  Paraffin waxes are natural, mineral waxes from petroleum that are non-reactive, non-toxic, inherently biodegradable (OECD guidelines) and compostable products with many applications including:

  • Moisture barrier in food packaging products (Packaging and Corrugated Wax Blends)
  • Viscosity, flow, bond strength and flexibility modification of hot melt adhesives
  • Corrosion inhibition and rust prevention for coatings and lubricants
  • Liquid and gas barriers
  • Process aid for caulks and sealants
  • Improving hardness and “buffability” of polishes

IGI Wax also offer custom blends.
