- Utah Industrial Wax (Paraffins) are a Phase Changing Material
- Highly efficient in heat storage
- Upon phase change, volume increases/decreases by 10-15% and latent heat is > 4.5 times that of water
- Useful for heat pumps and wax motors
- Wax motors will have a significant increase in demand in regulating temperature in heat pump systems
- Utah Industrial Wax is an important feedstock in the manufacturing of Group III lubricants
- Group III lubricants have a high viscosity ratio greater than 120, meaning it is suitable in high and low temperature environments (i.e., Wind Turbines, High Mileage Vehicles)
- Group III lubricants will increase gas mileage over Group I & II Lubricants in internal combustion engines
- Group III lubricants will become a more important source of lubrication in wind turbines and other carbon neutral infrastructure
- Group III lubrications provide a more-sure supply and better economy than group IV and V synthetics produced from petrochemicals in a significantly growing wind turbine market
- Utah Industrial Wax is used in products that raise our standard of living
- From cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, building materials, packaging
