Surface Treatment
Hydrophobising
Effect / Function / Properties
Addition of waxes with special compositions (liquid/solid):
- Hydrophobising through chemical and physical processes: The functional groups contained in the waxes create a high affinity for polar substructures. The hydrocarbon base structures produce a water-repellent effect.
Product Range / Products
- Mineral construction material
- Wood-based materials

Impregnation
Application / Effect / Function / Properties
Special wax-containing systems (liquid, solid) are used as impregnation and coating agents for protective surface sealing:
- Protection against liquid penetration (e.g., water)
- Improves the mechanical property profile
- Modifies the surface (e.g., gloss effect)
Methods
- Dipping
- Spraying
- Pressure impregnation
Application Examples
- Construction (impregnation of building materials)
- Solid wood sector
- Paper industry
Product Range / Products
- Wax dispersions
- Modified waxes

Conditioning
Effect / Function / Properties
Addition of waxes with special composition for shaping predominantly fine bulk materials during the manufacturing process:
- Coating or bonding between individual particles through chemical and physical processes.
- Improvement of mechanical properties such as abrasion resistance, flowability, and hydrophobization.
Components with polar groups create a high affinity for polar carrier substances, while the film formation of waxes is specifically utilized.
Application Examples
- Fertilizer
- Dusts
Product Range / Products
- Wax dispersions
- Modified Waxes
