Candles and Illumination

Lightning the way

Whether for everyday use at home or for festive occasions - the cosy atmosphere created by candlelight has been a constant companion for mankind as far back as the third century B.C.. To this day nothing has changed. Over the course of time however, the requirments of candle production have changed tremendously. Meeting today's quality and environmental standards calls for a high Level of Expertise, ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Hywax helps candle poducers face these new challenges.

We can offer our customers a wide range of products and tailor-made solutions for all applications.

Our paraffin waxes are true all-rounders. While competitve products are often subject to limitations, paraffin waxes from Hywax enable the production to every conceivable type of candle. After all, they have been especially developed for this purpose regardless of which size, shape, colour, fragrance or production process.

Hywax is ensuring the future by investing in Fischer-Tropsch waxes (FT waxes for short). As petroleum based waxes become less abundant, we are improving our supply of FT waxes. This is why we are increasingly offering our customers FT waxes in addition to our petroleum based waxes. Fischer-Tropsch waxes are produced in a fully snythetic porcess and hence independently of oil. At the same time, they have the quality and properties of paraffins – and can be used with equal versatility. In addition to this, FT waxes are the purest raw materials that can be used for the production of candles.
