Synthetic waxes for advanced applications

Synthetic waxes and materials

Synhelion produces high-quality synthetic waxes using renewable energy and sustainable feedstock. These waxes serve as versatile building blocks for fuels, specialty materials, and high-performance applications across multiple industries.
Designed for seamless integration, our waxes can be upgraded in dedicated units or co-processed in existing refineries. They provide a reliable, drop-in alternative to fossil-based waxes while enabling significant emissions reductions today.

Applications

Fuels and refinery products

Our waxes can be hydrocracked or co-processed in existing refinery infrastructure to produce transportation fuels and other refining products.

Lubricants and base oils

The narrow molecular distribution and high purity of FT-derived waxes make them an excellent feedstock for premium base oils and high-performance lubricants, where oxidative stability and consistency are essential.

Specialty chemistry

Used as high-performance additives in coatings, inks, and plastics, Synhelion waxes provide tunable melting ranges and controlled molecular distributions that simplify formulation and improve product performance.

Cosmetics

High-purity waxes enable clean, stable formulations with consistent sensory properties such as hardness, glide, and gloss. Ideal for premium cosmetic products where batch-to-batch consistency is critical.

Food

Tailored hydrocarbon-based waxes and fats can replicate the functional roles of traditional fats, supporting texture, stability, and performance in food applications.
