Effect / Function / Properties

Specially formulated waxes are used in wood-based materials such as chips, strands, fibers, and similar materials.

• Hydrophobization through chemical and physical processes.
• Improvement of mechanical properties regarding swelling, adhesion, and transverse tensile strength.

The polar groups in the waxes create a strong affinity to the wood structure. On the other hand, the hydrocarbon base structures have a water-repelling effect.

Areas of application

• HDF, MDF, OSB, particle board
