Special wax has a wide range of application fields and a large number of manufacturing companies in my country.

Special wax, also known as polymer wax, refers to paraffin wax that is prepared with petroleum wax as the basic raw material and is specially processed to meet the requirements of special properties and specific parts. Common categories include phase change energy storage wax, temperature sensing wax, and automotive wax. Wax, sealing wax, anti-rust wax, etc.

There are various production methods for special waxes, mainly including the polymerization method, which refers to the method of using ethylene monomer as raw material and high-pressure polymerization in the presence of a large amount of molecular weight regulator (hydrogen) to produce special wax; the cracking method refers to the method of using high molecular weight pure Polyethylene or waste polyethylene plastics are used as raw materials and are cracked at high temperatures to produce special waxes; the by-product refining method refers to the process of using low molecular weight component by-products produced during the ethylene polymerization production process as raw materials and purifying them to produce special waxes . Among them, the cracking method is currently the mainstream method for the industrial production of special waxes in China, with the advantages of low production cost and high output rate.

Special wax can be widely used in explosives, plastics, rubber, chemicals, food, leather, ceramics, electronics, textiles and other fields. It is an important functional material. Among them, explosives and rubber are the main application fields of special waxes. In the field of explosives, special waxes are mainly used as oil-phase materials in explosive production scenarios for coal, engineering construction, and civil explosions. They play a role in enhancing the blasting effect, safety, and environmental protection of explosives. Function; In the field of rubber, special waxes are mainly used as fillers and softeners in rubber manufacturing scenarios, playing a role in improving rubber properties and reducing rubber viscosity.

According to the “Special Wax Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, currently Driven by the rapid development of downstream application fields, domestic demand for special waxes continues to increase, and the market shows good development prospects. In 2022, my country’s special wax market will reach 6.58 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 9.4%.

As the market development prospects continue to highlight, many domestic companies have entered the field of special wax, including Guangdong Huayue Special Wax Technology, Guangdong Xinhuayue Petrochemical Group, Shandong Henghui Energy Saving Technology, Guangdong Dachuan Special Wax, Hebei Yuanmai Special Wax, Jiangsu Juguan New Material Technology, Liaoning Xinxing Special Wax Manufacturing, Fushun Hongwei Special Wax, etc. After continuous research and development, my country’s special wax companies are accelerating to occupy the domestic market share by virtue of their advantages in cost performance, supply cycle, scale, etc., and the development trend of the industry is good.

However, compared with national companies such as British Astor, Dutch Paramelt, American Boler Prteolurum, Japanese Nippon Seiro, and German Schumamn, my country’s special wax companies still have certain gaps in product production technology, research and development processes, quality performance, etc. Some high-end and special specialty waxes still have Dependent on imports. Industry analysts said that in the future, local companies will need to continue to optimize process technology to promote the development of the domestic special wax industry. The direction of high-end and differentiation is constantly upgrading, and the industry has huge room for growth.
