Application

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

In the food sector, Paraffin is used to seal certain products (cheese production). Production without Paraffin is also inconceivable in a large number of technical applications. These include cleaning and care products for wood and furniture construction, as well as automotive coatings. But rust and building protection are also important areas of application for kerosenes.
