Paraffin Inhibitor / Wax Crystal Modifier Polymer
Paraffin inhibitor polymer is a copolymer designed to prevent wax deposition and paraffin plugging in production tubing, flowlines, and crude oil pipelines. It co-crystallizes with paraffin wax at the nucleation stage, modifying crystal growth to yield smaller, non-adherent wax crystals that remain dispersed in the oil stream. Effective at dosages of 50–500 ppm, reducing wax deposition thickness and pigging frequency significantly.
