Our wax solutions for agricultural coatings -
waxes that smooth the way to better crops and yields
Wax ingredients for better performance in agriculture, plus a growing range of renewable solutions
Our waxes can be used to improve agricultural applications, such as fertilizers, seed coatings and adjuvant formulations. They provide anti-caking and anti-dusting effects and enhance such important properties as flowability and water resistance. When used for fruit and vegetable coatings, our waxes enhance the natural protection of these precious farming products and help prevent weight loss and spoilage. With our growing choice of renewable-based solutions, we are also a great partner for enhancing the eco-footprints of coatings and products. Our renewable, microplastics-free Licocare ® RBW and formulations based on Licocare ® RBW can help our customers to fulfill their needs for agricultural coatings.

More water-resistant agricultural coatings for improved control over effects
If required, our Licocare® RBW Vita waxes can be used to give coatings and films outstanding water resistance, which can be a great benefit in many agricultural applications. When used on fertilizers, water-resistant coatings can lead to a slower and more controlled release of nutrients, while adjuvants made with our waxes can increase the wash-off-resistance of active ingredients, thereby boosting their effects.
Controlled release results in a more efficient use of crop care products and helps to prevent the loss of nutrients, as well as their undesired release into the environment. Our waxes can either be used as main ingredients or as additives in existing coating systems.
