Sasol to present micronized waxes with 32% lower PCF at ECS 2025
Last update on Mar 17, 2025
Sasol expands its product line of micronized waxes with and , solutions with a 32% lower product carbon footprint (PCF) compared to Sasol's products, SASOLWAX Spray 30 G and SASOLWAX Spray 30 G-EF. This milestone was achieved through optimization in the Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) Fischer-Tropsch (FT) production process.
Offers exceptional surface protection and gloss control
Micronized waxes offer superior performance across a variety of inks, paints and coatings formulations, including architectural coatings, powder coatings, can- and coil coatings, wood coatings and printing inks. SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G and SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G-EF deliver exceptional surface protection, slip, rub resistance and gloss control, enabling manufacturers to produce high-quality end products while significantly lowering their CO2 emissions.
"At Sasol Chemicals, we are driven to deliver innovative solutions that help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. The introduction of these drop-in alternatives to our standard products is a logical next step following the recent introduction of our lower carbon waxes for hot melt adhesives and asphalt additives," said Vernon Jansen van Rensburg, head of Sales & Market Development, Differentiated Portfolio, Sasol Chemicals.
"At the same time, we maintain the exceptional performance of our class leading micronized products. We are proud of setting this new landmark with lower-carbon wax solutions which prioritize both quality and greenhouse gas emission reduction."
Sasol's underlying calculation approach for PCFs has undergone critical third-party review, ensuring transparency and reliability in quantifying emissions. It complies with international standards, including ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO 14067.
PFAS-free GTL FT products
Sasol's GTL FT waxes offer a range of benefits tailored for modern manufacturing requirements. Unlike mineral oil-based waxes, they are MOSH/MOAH-free. These products also fall outside the European Chemicals Agency's (ECHA) polymer classification, meaning they do not meet the definition of microplastics, aligning with evolving regulatory expectations. Additionally, Sasol's GTL FT waxes are free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
As a provider of GTL-based Fischer-Tropsch technologies, Sasol Chemicals continues to innovate with sustainable solutions. The company's GTL waxes, produced from natural gas, are renowned for their consistent high quality, sulphur-free composition and excellent thermal stability. SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G and SASOLWAX LC Spray 30 G-EF build on this foundation by offering the same exceptional properties with the added benefit of a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
Visit Sasol at the European Coating Show in Nuremberg from 25 to 27 March in Hall 3 at booth 156.
