Hanke Lubricants' specially engineered industrial lubricating waxes and wax emulsions provide an easy-to-handle surface while effectively protecting your components against wear and corrosion. Depending on the lubrication application, lifetime lubrication can often be achieved, saving unnecessary labor costs.
What are industrial lubricating waxes and wax emulsions?
Lubricating waxes are fundamentally not solid lubricants. They form a dry-to-the-touch lubricating layer on component surfaces to ensure reliable lubrication while reducing boundary and mixed friction. Their composition consists of high-polymer synthetic hydrocarbons, additives, and oils (mineral oil, synthetic hydrocarbons).
Wax emulsions differ from lubricating waxes: they are water-based and contain emulsifiers. Once the water evaporates, they leave behind a film that adheres firmly to the surface.
It is important to know: at specific temperatures, wax becomes liquid. The melting point depends on the wax's composition and formulation.
Lubricating waxes — reliable protection of chains and other components against wear and corrosion
Dry lubrication with one of our specialty industrial lubricants offers many advantages. Greases often readily attract dust and dirt, whereas wax-lubricated surfaces stay cleaner. Depending on the product, low-temperature applications can often be used on polished surfaces without additional additives.
Lubricating waxes effectively prevent wear and corrosion in applications such as ropes and chains. The right specialty lubricant can greatly simplify the assembly of small parts—for example, by reducing resistance so that bolts, sleeves, or rivets press easily into fixtures.
Our lubricating waxes also prevent hinges from squeaking, ensuring industrial components run smoothly under frictional contact.
Wax Emulsions — Cost-Effective Lubrication Solutions for Large-Scale Coating
Wax emulsions are particularly suitable for the simultaneous automatic lubrication of large quantities of small parts. They can be conveniently applied to industrial components by spraying or dip coating. With the right emulsified wax, you can quickly coat screws and bolts, rivets, pins, seals, sliding surfaces, or plug-in connections — and, most importantly, very economically. Integrated UV indicators enable effective quality control of the coating after application.
