Wood-based materials
Effects / functions / characteristics
- addition of special composition waxes to wood-based materials such as chips, strands, fibres, etc.
- hydrophobic treatment using chemical and physical processes
- improved mechanical properties in terms of swelling, bonding, and transverse tensile strength
The polar groups contained in the waxes have a high affinity to the wood structure. In addition, the hydrocarbon basic structures have a water-repellent effect.
Areas of application
- HDF, MDF, OSB, particle chipboard
Delivery programme / Products
- Montax wax dispersions with solids contents of up to 47 % by weight
