CUSTOM BLENDS
Cerax produces a plethora of custom blends for customers across a diverse range of industries. Customers will either approach Cerax with specific performance needs, or Cerax will identify how blends can be optimised around price and performance. Cerax has an experienced and well-resourced research and development team that will assist with custom requirements. Custom blends make up the majority volume of our output.
Grafting wax
Grafting wax is used to protect grafts made on fruit and planation trees and grape vines. The wax is used as a means to support the new graft from infection and decay. Cerax produces wax blends that are flexible, temperature sensitive and UV resistant, to ensure cost-effective performance grafts.
Lubricants
Waxes are commonly used in lubricants for high performance and temperature sensitive applications. Cerax provides waxes for highly-specialised lubrication applications, in dye cast plungers and bore wear reducing liners.
PJ Concentrates (Cable Jelly Waxes)
Petroleum jelly is a mixture of hydrocarbons used in personal care and industrial applications. Cerax provides the wax concentrate/masterbatch that is then mixed with mineral oils to produce the final product specifications.
Cable jelly or petroleum is used to flood communication cables to create extra protection from moisture and other forms of decay. Cerax can formulate blends that have a higher thermal stability, fire resistance or lower shrinkage.
Match Wax
Paraffinic waxes are used by match manufacturers as a fuel to ensure the ignition transfers to burning the splint. Cerax supplies refined and semi-refined paraffinic wax blends to optimise cost efficiency.
Toll Manufacturing And Solidification
Cerax has capacity for toll manufacturing in the purification and refining of waxes. Products can be solidified as coarse powder (+-1mm), pastilles (+-5mm) and slabs/blocks (+-300x600x50mm).
Candles & Fuel
Cerax continues to expand our product offering for the candle and fuels market. The CeraGlo candle range is expanding to include low melt FT grades, candle extrusion grades and liquid bulk paraffin wax equivalents.
The Ceranite range is also undergoing an upgrade as Cerax completes further fractionation capacity. Low molecular weight waxes are used extensively in the charcoal industry, specific melting points combined with correct flash points allow for the production of self-igniting charcoal.
