The worldwide high demand in recent decades for furniture and housing has caused a search for alternative material to timber.  

This search gave rise to the invention and development of chip boards, in which paraffin wax meets the need for a moisture repellent ensuring the rigidity of the boards and their moisture resistance.

Paraffin wax,  colourless or white, somewhat translucent, hard wax consisting of a mixture of solid straight-chain hydrocarbons ranging in melting point from about 48° to 66° C (120° to 150° F).  

Paraffin wax is obtained from petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. It is used in candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators.  

It assists in extracting perfumes from flowers, forms a base for medical ointments, and supplies a waterproof coating for wood. In wood and paper matches, it helps to ignite the matchstick by supplying an easily vaporized hydrocarbon fuel. sales3 at paraffinco dot com.
