Wax Products

WVCO manufactures wax emulsion using custom slack wax blends to achieve the highest performance at the lowest cost. We utilize petrochemical- and bio-based wax streams based on customer needs. We also have an extended wax emulsion that can be co-applied with pMDI to improve distribution of the wax and resin, resulting in the ability to decrease wax and resin levels without compromising board properties.

How the products work

WVCO manufactures wax emulsion application equipment to ensure optimum delivery of your wax product. We also manufacture a state-of-the-art in-line dilution system that allows for the delivery of a high solids emulsion, then diluted on the fly to optimum wax loading, based on product mix. This dilution system results in up to a 20% reduction in freight cost with the ability to fine tune wax loading based on board property performance metrics.

Our Wax Products include:

Slack Wax

The Willamette Valley Company sources slack wax streams from several sources. Petrochemical- and bio-based options can be blended on the fly to produce the optimum product based on need. Key attributes of every slack stream are documented and fingerprinted to allow our supply chain and R&D staff to ensure adequate, consistent supply while maintaining product performance.

Wax Emulsions

The Willamette Valley Company produces multiple wax emulsions targeted for the composite panel market, including OSB, PB, MDF and Gypsum, with consistent quality at a fair price with premium performance. WVCO has a patent-pending extended wax emulsion that reduces wax solids by 20%, while maintaining board properties. This extended wax emulsion can also be co-applied with pMDI, resulting in better distribution, lower volatility, higher flash point and decreased resin usage, which will have a major positive impact on our customers’ bottom line.
