MADE BY HIGH PRESSURE POLYMERIZATION

We are proud to present brand new special waxes with new properties, tailored to specific applications. These new waxes expand the current VISCOWAX® range with more amorphous products with lower melting points as well as with high melting PP-waxes. It offers our users a broader range of specific additives to exactly achieve a desired effect in their products or processes.

The Viscowax Edge

Made by direct polymerization
Solvent-free mass polymerization
Targeted production clearly defined specifications
