Lube oil processing | Wax hydrofinishing

Waxes require a final hydrofinishing – or “polishing” – step to improve their physicochemical properties and achieve the color, oxidation, and thermal stability specified for the finished product.

Topsoe’s hydrotreatment catalysts effectively remove various color bodies to produce wax for a wide range of applications, including the food and medical industries.
