Wax Testing Capabilities

Wax composition testing serves as an integral aspect of quality control and research support across diverse industries, ranging from packaging and consumer goods to petroleum and industrial applications. The comprehensive testing of various wax types, such as Paraffin Wax, Refined Waxes, Petroleum Grade Wax, Carnauba Wax, and many others, is essential for ensuring product quality and meeting industry standards. Wax composition testing allows for the precise determination of wax content, aiding in the classification and grading of different wax types. Additionally, wax composition testing is crucial for assessing purity, identifying contaminants, and understanding the distribution of wax components, ensuring that the final product meets stringent quality requirements. Furthermore, it enables the detection and analysis of additives, providing insights into the impact of additional substances on the wax properties.

Our scientists perform wax composition testing to help you be sure of raw material or product quality through the accurate measurement of parameters such as melting point, penetration, and composition. This process helps you adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements, ensuring the reliability and consistency of your wax-based products. Wax composition testing also aids in identifying and mitigating potential issues, such as contamination or undesired impurities, which can impact product performance. Moreover, understanding the thermal properties and fatty acid composition of waxes contributes to the development of specialized formulations tailored to specific applications. Our widespread testing capabilities, including AOAC and ASTM methods, provide a comprehensive analysis that supports your research and development efforts, fostering innovation in wax-related industries.
