On November 20, 2025, Fushun Petrochemical announced that its microcrystalline wax had successfully obtained EU REACH certification. This achievement signifies that the quality of the company's microcrystalline wax has reached an advanced international level.
Leveraging advanced production technology and a rigorous quality control system, Fushun Petrochemical has continuously optimized the performance of its microcrystalline wax. The product features a pure white color, a high melting point, and excellent adhesion and ductility; it remains resistant to brittleness even at low temperatures, making it a premium raw material for industries such as cosmetics, food packaging, and pharmaceuticals.
Previously, domestic production of microcrystalline wax was limited, resulting in a long-term reliance on imports. Recognizing the market opportunity, Fushun Petrochemical proactively launched its microcrystalline wax production project. In the first half of 2024, the company commissioned a paraffin hydrogenation unit (200,000-ton annual capacity) and a bright stock hydrogenation unit (100,000-ton annual capacity). These facilities successfully produced "Grade 80" microcrystalline wax, achieving an annual production capacity of 73,000 tons. This milestone established Fushun Petrochemical as the only domestic enterprise capable of producing a full range of paraffin wax, mixed-crystal wax, microcrystalline wax, and bright stock products. The company’s paraffin products have won over ten "China Famous Brand" awards, and the product pass rate stands at 100%. Its paraffin products have secured international trademark registrations in regions including Europe, the United States, and India, and have obtained FDA inspection-exemption status in the international market, with annual exports to Europe and the US exceeding 200,000 tons. Moving forward, Fushun Petrochemical intends to use this certification as a springboard to further increase R&D investment, enhance product quality, and expand its international market share.
