About
Founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1929, Nippon Seiro Co., Ltd. operates globally, specializing in the production and sales of petroleum waxes, a variety of physically and chemically modified wax products, and fuel oil. Its comprehensive product portfolio includes traditional paraffin and microcrystalline waxes, alongside innovative offerings such as oxidized, chemical, special, and Fischer-Tropsch waxes. The company also develops and supplies custom blended products, including anti-ozonant waxes and wax emulsions. These versatile materials are supplied in various physical forms—slabs, pellets, powders, and granules—and serve an extensive range of industrial and commercial applications. They are crucial components in hotmelt adhesives, paper manufacturing (for cups, converting, waterproof corrugated boards, and laminations), and plastic processing (as lubricants, additives, slip agents, toners, and release agents). Further applications extend to rubber products (anti-ozonants and tires), cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, candles, matches, polishes, chewing gums, inks, binders, rust prevention, plywood, textiles, and electrical insulation, as well as specialized chemicals like chlorinated paraffins and paraffin wax reformers.
