Kirana is the largest provider of formulated waxes for the candle industry in Indonesia. Different candle systems require precise wax properties. Our laboratory continuously researches suitable waxes for varying types of pillars and containers, ranging from teadlights to large religious candles. most of our waxes are designed for direct use without additives, though we also offer custom blends to meet specific performance requirements.
Kirana is the largest provider to the pesticide and agricultural industry in Indonesia.Kirana’s paraffin wax and our specialized blends of waxes can provide the following benefits to fertilizer and pesticide applications such as: stable carrier agent in rodenticide or pesticide blocks, formulation of anti caking, anti lump coating, moisture and water barrier coating in fertilizer. Paraffin wax are widely known to be chemically inert and stable, which means they can provide a non-reactive, moisture free carrier system for active ingredients in agricultural and pesticide applications.
In the hot-melt adhesive industry, paraffin wax encompasses up to 65% of the formulation. These waxes are essential for modifying viscosity, flow, and set-time properties. They also significantly influence the adhesive's bond strength and flexibility. Kirana’s paraffin waxes, known for their high quality and low odor, are the preferred choice for formulating superior hot-melt adhesives.
Wax is a vital component in rubber tire formulations and is added for protection from atmospheric ozone that will “dry” unprotected rubber, causing cracking that compromises the strength of the tire. Wax creates a physical barrier between the tire surface and the atmosphere. Our Rubber Protective Wax is a highly technical and sophisticatedly formulated with careful composition for each carbon, to bloom in particular temperature for optimum rubber protection.
Batik Industry has been one of Kirana’s main research subject because of Indonesia’s long heritage as the finest batik producer in the world. A blend of paraffin wax is used in batik as a resist or negative process, to resist the dye absorption in the coloring process. Careful composition in the wax is to ensure the final wax has good dye resistance, with good flexibility and elasticity as to resist cracking in the wax washing process, good viscosity as to be easily used, and have the correct melting point to be easily applied, as well as easily removed in the washing process.
Wax in packaging industries are used for their water resistance and water vapor resistance. They are the most important property associated with paraffin wax in conjunction with paper packaging. Paraffin wax is a very cost effective water-resistant materials and their low viscosity requires relatively minimal machinery cost for application at high speeds production. Kirana wax provides a stable and flexible protective coating for packaging materials.
Wax can be used as a watertight seal between the toilet base and the flange to prevent leakage, making it an integral part of your toilet installation.
In the polish industry, paraffin wax is used as a raw material that acts as a cover that protects the surface from water, scratches, and mold growth.
Masterbatches are widely used in the plastics industry to add colour and other desirable properties to products. In the masterbatch industry, the use of paraffin wax can increase wetting ability and reduce viscosity, increasing pigment dispersion.
Kirana formulates high purity products that can be applied in the personal care industry such as hair care, facial care, skin care and body care products. These products are Paraffin Wax, Petroleum Jelly (Comply with USP/IP) and Natural Jelly. Paraffin wax is used in the personal care industry to improve product consistency.Petroleum jelly is a semisolid material, non-sticky, very soft when applied, and has excellent moisturizing properties. Natural jelly is an alternative product to petroleum jelly, made from natural ingredients. Its natural ingredients can maintain healthy skin, and prevent it from damage and dryness.
Greases and lubricants are indispensable materials for lubricating every moving machine part. Wax is one of the raw materials used in the grease industry. Wax with high viscosity is needed to produce grease products that are stable against pressure and temperature. Kirana formulates products that are suitable for the grease industry, which have high viscosity, are stable and resistant to high pressure and temperature.
In the paint industry, paraffin wax can be used to modify film and rheological properties. Paraffin wax is naturally hydrophobic, making it an excellent additive that can improve paint performance by forming a thin layer to prevent corrosion of the metal surface. Paraffin wax also has a low viscosity, making it easy during the blending process.
In the fruit and vegetable industry, proper post-harvest treatment is needed to maintain good fruit quality during storage and delivery. One stage in post-harvest treatment is wax coating. This process can maintain freshness, cleanliness and shine of the product. The wax coating blocks the pores on the product skin to reduce water loss, so the product can be stored and shipped for a long time, especially for export shipments..
