Wax Emulsion Products

Custom paraffin wax products & blends for wood treatment, other wax products

Our paraffin wax emulsions for wood treatment are fully refined. For custom wax emulsions, A&W offers wax products individualized for different industries such as paints and coatings, textile and paper industries. Our product line for wood treatment and other applications offers the following wax emulsions:

AW-60 is a water-based emulsion that provides maximum water repellence as well as dust binder. In the textile industry, AW-60 is widely used as a lubricating agent for the finishing of fabric. Our micro-emulsions are stabilized emulsions with extremely small droplets.

AW-60 is a water-based paraffin wax emulsion with a solid content of 58-60%. This wax emulsion is used as a water repellent and lubricating compound in the OSB and MDF production. It is also used as a dust reduction or binding compound when the OSB and MDF boards are cut and sanded.

AW-60 is also used to make edge sealer. Edge sealer is the colored paint applied to the ends of OSB and MDF boards, used for water repellent. AW-60 is also used as a fabric finisher in the textile industry, added to fabrics to produce desired characteristics such as wrinkle or moisture resistance. It also provides lubrication to the equipment and fabric, and resists penetration of other liquids.

AW-35 LG is a carnauba, or water-based, wax emulsion used in mold release products. It is also used in inks and coatings to provide water resistance and improve slip, scratch, and abrasion resistance. AW-35 can also be used in other applications and products.

AW-50 is the same paraffin wax emulsion as AW-60, but with a lower solid content of 48-50%.

We also offer microcrystalline wax emulsions for various applications. These wax emulsions are more viscous and thicker, stickier, and more elastic than paraffins, typically with a lower oil content. These emulsions can be mixed with paraffin wax emulsions, and are good products to use in the latex industry, for such applications as carpet backing. These wax emulsions are also good for rubber products and mold releases.

A&W prides itself in developing custom products to meet our customers' requirements, along with our own special line of products for the following industries:

• Oriental Strand Board
• Structural Board
• Latex emulsions & coatings
• Carpet backing
• Paint: Mold release
