Market Insight

Montan wax is a mineral wax, obtained from coal and shale. They are easily emulsifiable hard waxes. They can be processed in formulations for a wide variety of dispersions depending on the individual requirements. The special derivatives are used worldwide as multifunctional high-performance additives in a wide variety of industries. The most important applications are found in the plastics industry, the coating industry and in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

The growing use of the montan waxes for several industrial applications drives the growth of the market. It is widely used in the daily chemical industry, automotive industry, electrical industry, carbon paper industry, machinery industry and many other industries using wax. The montan wax is characterized by low electric conductivity and has a good insulating property, it can be coated on the surface of the electric wires and cables. Apart from that, it can also be used on the fixed porcelain insulator and the binding wires, as well as the external layer of the mated compensating wires coatings to improve its electric insulating property, prevent it from being tacky and extending its service life. However, the increasing global shortage of available raw materials is causing users to eliminate montan wax products from their applications, which is most likely to hamper market growth. Moreover, research and development on efficient and environmentally friendly technologies for extracting Montan waxes are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market players.
