Natural & Plant Derived Waxes
IGI is one of North America’s largest users of vegetable and other non-petroleum based waxes. These non-petroleum based waxes are used to meet a wide variety of specific demands by our customers and the marketplace.
Diverse Wax Options from IGI
When demanded by customer applications, IGI can incorporate numerous types of non-petroleum materials into our waxes and product line. In most cases vegetable materials are used as a complement, rather than replacement, to petroleum based waxes.
For candle manufacturers, IGI offers a series of palm waxes that provide a unique, crystalline finish to the candle surface. IGI also offers a 100% vegetable container candle blend.
For packaging applications, IGI’s TRI-CERA® natural wax-based blends offer a sustainable option to protect your paper-based packaging from outside
IGI’s knowledge of wax bases extends well beyond that of only petroleum based products. Consider consulting with IGI if your wax application requires vegetable and other non-petroleum based waxes.
Sustainable, Renewable and Growing
Use of vegetable-based waxes will continue to grow and expand into new markets. In short, the raw materials for vegetable waxes are readily available — and renewable. To serve this trend, IGI has committed the resources to advance the science behind vegetable waxes and vegetable wax blends.
IGI also maintains a strategic relation with the Strahl and Pitsch company (www.spwax.com). Strahl and Pitsch is a leader in the supply and formulation use of several natural waxes such as beeswax and carnauba.
