Wax Treatment Techniques in Wood Processing (Waterproofing, Polishing, etc.)


In today’s wood processing industry, wax treatment has become a key method for enhancing both the performance and appearance of wood products. Thanks to its simplicity, efficiency, and non-toxic, eco-friendly properties, wax treatment plays a vital role in improving durability and visual appeal—especially in waterproofing, crack prevention, and polishing.


1. Typical Applications of Wax in Wood Processing

1.1 Waterproofing and Moisture Resistance

Wood is a naturally porous material that easily absorbs moisture, leading to deformation or even decay. Applying paraffin or synthetic wax to the surface or interior of the wood creates a protective barrier that significantly improves water resistance.

This is especially important for outdoor furniture, flooring, and landscaping wood. Using high-melting-point paraffin-based waterproof coatings can greatly extend the service life of wooden products.

KH offers high-melting-point microcrystalline wax and Fischer-Tropsch wax with excellent waterproofing performance. These are suitable for deep-penetration wood protection formulas and are widely used in high-end wood applications.


1.2 Anti-Cracking and End Sealing

Wood often develops cracks during drying, particularly at the ends. Applying specialized end-sealing wax helps slow moisture evaporation, effectively reducing the risk of cracking.

KH provides specialty end-sealing paraffin waxes with strong adhesion and flexibility, suitable for logs, planks, and other types of wood materials.


3. Surface Polishing and Enhanced Texture

Wood wax not only protects the wood surface but also enhances its gloss and tactile feel. Various types of waxes, such as carnauba wax and microcrystalline wax, are used in finishing treatments for furniture and musical instruments, giving the surface a smoother, more natural look while retaining the wood’s original grain.

KH offers customized synthetic wax solutions for use in wood oils and furniture polishing formulas, ensuring consistent performance and environmental safety.
