Waxes for Industrial Application We are living in a world of constantly growing demands while the availability of industrial raw materials is becoming difficult. The wax market is particularly affected since traditional waxes, such as montan wax, will disappear from the market in a few years. Others are synthetic and do not fit into the "green" philosophy, which is becoming more and more important all over the world. The availability of traditional natural waxes is affected by environmental pollution and climatic changes, which can lead to shortages and fast-changing prices. For this reason KahlWax developed a second generation of natural waxes from cultivated food plants like rice and sunflower. These natural waxes offer a unique technical performance, are available in virtually unlimited quantities at reasonable and stable prices, and as by-products from the production of foodstuffs they are sustainable and readily biodegradable. KahlWax ensures the availability of your raw materials today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

Xanthan gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation with Xanthomonas Campestris. KahlGum is cleaned with ethanol, dried and grinded. KahlGums interacts synergistically with galactomannans to provide a wide range of rheological properties. The interaction between Xanthan gum and guar gum or CMC results in an increasing viscosity. 6656 FQ40 Particle size: 95 % pass 40 mesh (400 μm). 6678 FQST80 salt-tolerant 6650 FQ80 Particle size: 95 % pass 80 mesh (180 μm). 6671 FQ200 Economic wax compounds Wax blends with the best cost/performance ratio.
