Paraffin Emulsion

Advanced Water-Repellent Solutions for Industrial Woodworking

Our Paraffin Emulsion is a high-quality, specialty product consisting of molten paraffin wax, water, and specific emulsifiers, yielding a stable, homogeneous dispersion. Good water dispersibility and a small, uniform particle size place the emulsion perfectly for use within the industrial marketplace, such as wood panel production.

How Paraffin Emulsion Works

We produce our paraffin emulsions by incorporating emulsifying agents into molten or hot wax, followed by dilution with water to produce a homogeneous emulsion. The product—pasty or solid under ambient temperature—disperses easily in water and is of good quality over a range of temperature and applications.

Key Applications in Woodworking

Paraffin Emulsion is a key additive used in the production of:

  • Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
  • Particle board
  • OSB (Oriented Strand Board

Its application ensures:

  • Moisture protection
  • Dust suppression during grinding or sawing
  • Smoother surface texture on treated boards
  • Extended life of grinding belts, often doubling their operational lifespan

Advantages of Royal Paraffin Emulsion are:

1. Increased Penetration and Hydrophilization

Because our emulsion has an ultra-fine particle size of 1–5 microns, it deeply penetrates wood fibers to enable uniform and effective distribution of wax for improved hydrophilic surface control.

2. Excellent compatibility with resins

Royal Paraffin Emulsion is compatible with urea-formaldehyde as well as melamine resins, yielding good dispersion in the composite formulations as well as mechanical properties.

3. Improved water repellency

The emulsion acts as a good moisture barrier during the hot-pressing process, preventing water from being absorbed, thus improving the product’s long-term stability.

4. Enhanced Hydrophobic Properties

In the process of break-up, molten wax is directly deposited into the matrix of the wood as a tough hydrophobic layer for additional water repellence.

5. Reinforced Waterproofing

Our formula includes special emulsifiers that enable the wax to blend with the board prior to resin curing, adding waterproof properties without compromising bond strength.

6. Easy Handling and Storage

Our paraffin emulsion is simple to apply and can be stored safely between 5 and 30 degrees Celsius, whereas molten wax would need to be stored above 60 degrees Celsius.

7. Transport-Friendly and Energy Efficient

As it does not involve heating pipes or insulating in transit, Royal Paraffin Emulsion is a logistic cost saver and eradicates freeze issues, enabling ease of operations.

8. Reduced Resin Usage

The introduction of our paraffin emulsion into wood panels allows the manufacturer to decrease resin consumption by 10–20% without affecting physical and chemical performance levels—resulting in considerable cost savings.

Packaging choices

Royal Paraffin Paraffin Emulsion is available in a range of pack sizes to suit bulk and flexible logistics:

  • New or reconditioned 175 kg drums
  • ISO tanks
  • Flexi tanks

Each 20-foot container can have up to 80 drums, optimizing the efficiency of shipments for international deliveries.
