Agriculture: Horticultural practice proves that plants absorb water mainly through the roots, and evaporation of water is lost from the surface of the leaves. The water consumption of the plant itself is not very large. For example, the surface of the leaves is coated with a water-repellent spray film, which can greatly reduce the evaporation of water on the surface of the leaves. Plants need less than 50% of their total water. Since the 1960s, advanced technology countries such as the United States have adopted the method of spraying emulsified paraffin in the agricultural field to prevent fruit trees, shrubs, etc. from losing water during winter dormancy or transplanting. A large number of patents for agricultural emulsified paraffin. Emulsified paraffin is mainly used for:
(1) Planting of saplings. Before planting pine and eucalyptus seedlings in the wild, they were immersed in emulsified paraffin. After treatment, the saplings were significantly improved in enduring transplant effects or in stress-tolerant weather conditions. The survival rate of the leaves is significantly increased due to the reduced evaporation of water on the surface of the leaves.
(2) Planting of garden nurseries. During the pruning or transplanting process, the survival rate can be significantly improved by emulsifying paraffin. If a large number of shrubs are to be transplanted during the dry season, pre-sprayed with emulsified paraffin ensures safe transplantation.
(3) Resist drought and preservation. After saplings and shrubs are sprayed with emulsified paraffin, they can withstand severe drought conditions. After the flower is picked, it can be pre-soaked in water and then treated with emulsified paraffin, and the life of the flower can be significantly prolonged.
Paper industry: Most of the paper in the paper selection process is internally filled with internal rubber, which makes the inherent absorption film of the paper fiber have ideal water resistance. Conventional fillers generally use resins, such as emulsifying paraffin, which can replace 20% to 40% of conventional resins. The addition of paraffin microemulsion can reduce the hygroscopicity of the paper and promote the uniform distribution of the gum in the fiber structure of the paper. Another benefit of the addition of emulsified paraffin is that it counteracts the effects of mixing the resin binder with various pigments, so that printability is improved and printing efficiency is improved. The sized paper in the beater can usually be further processed and refined through its surface compound or coating. A new variety of emulsified paraffin is currently being developed as ᱢᱤᱫ ᱦᱟᱭᱵᱽᱨᱤᱰ-ᱰᱤᱴᱟᱹᱨ ᱨᱮᱭᱟᱜ ᱜᱩᱱ ᱫᱚ https- https:
