About Us
| ‘Mineral Wax Plant’ Joint-Stock Company is a rapidly developing innovative enterprise, which is member of the Belarusian petrochemical complex. |
|
Our project ‘Construction of new facilities and reconstruction of the existing facilities on the basis of modern innovative technologies’ was affirmed by the concern as an investment project and was included into Governmental Program for innovation-based development of the Republic of Belarus for 2007-2019. |
|
Our main activities encompass production and marketing of auxiliary materials for machine-building, aeronautical, construction, oil extraction and petrochemical complexes. Our product range includes: paraffin wax, conservation lubricants, reagents for drilling, model compounds for precise casting, antiadhesives, lubricating and cooling technological materials, special oils and consistent greases. Our plant is the only plant which produces paraffin wax on the territory of the Republic of Belarus with capacity of 18000 tons per year. The main goals of our strategic development are: improvement of our products’ quality, satisfaction of our customers’ needs, reconstruction and modernization of facilities, search for new partners and investors. |
The history of Plant (push)
![]() |
The history of our plant began on the 22nd of April 1961, when the first product – peat wax – was manufactured. |
| The demand for peat wax and its derivatives was not satisfied and in 1971 State Committee on Science and Technology attached to Council of Ministers of the USSR took a decision to launch plant reconstruction project. |
|
The following facilities were built:
|
| The volume of production of peat wax, model compounds, antiadhesives was enough to satisfy the demand on the territory of the USSR. |
| In 1994 due to various circumstances production of peat wax was suspended. Production of model compounds was switched to alternative wax compounds. At the same time the plant was organizing production of new products. Among them were lubricant Litol-24, cup grease, Ciatim-201, gun grease, lubricating and cooling technological materials, oil for refrigerating machines HA-30, reagent for wells drilling “Lignopol” and others. |
| Until 1996 the plant was a state enterprise, in 1996 it went public under order of State Property Management Committee of Minsk region. |
|
On the 22nd of January 2010 a new workshop producing petroleum paraffin wax with capacity of 18000 tons per year was officially put into operation. Due to successful implementation of this project production of valuable raw material which is used in machine-building, aeronautical, oil extraction and other industries was launched in the Republic of Belarus. For instance, at ‘Mineral Wax Plant’ paraffin wax is used in production of protective waxes, model compounds, conservative lubricants, antiadhesives, polymeric bituminous mastics, and consistent greases.

Quality and control (push)
|
At ‘Mineral Wax Plant’ we pay special attention to the quality of our products. Quality Management System ISO9001.2008 and Occupational Health and Safety Management System OHSAS 18001:2007 were adopted and successfully implemented. ‘Mineral Wax Plant’ has its own well-equipped laboratory with qualified specialists working there. Close scientific and technological cooperation is promoted between the plant and the National Academy of Science of Belarus, The Research Institute for Physical Chemical Problems of the Belarusian State University, the leading universities in Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine. More than 60% of new products manufactured at the plant were developed on the basis of this cooperation. All products pass through 100% control of compliance with technical requirements and state standards and availability of the research laboratory enables us to make prompt adjustments to our products according to the client’s requirements. |
Future development (push)
| The main goal of further development of ‘Mineral Wax Plant’ at the moment is creation of technology intensive and competitive production. |
| With that aim we purchase equipment from enterprises famous for their innovations and exceptionally high quality to create modern production of low-tonnage chemicals. |
|
The plant reconstruction plan consists of three stages:
|
| Upon completion of construction and reconstruction activities automated industrial management system and automated technology management system will be implemented. |
| A long-term development plan for 2011-2015 was drawn up for ‘Mineral Wax Plant’. According to the plan, the capacity of the plant with paraffin wax production not included should be increased to 36 000 tons per year by 2015. With that aim the plant proceeds on improving technology, equipment and reducing costs. These improvements will certainly influence products quality. |
| ‘Mineral Wax Plant’ also plans to launch production of paraffin wax of food grade, which is used in production of food packaging paper, cosmetics, and therefore is in-demand at such enterprises. |
