Characteristics
- Grünwachs “P” is a special paraffin recommended for arid and or sunbaked areas.
- Melting point: 72-78°C.
- Thanks to its formula with added pigments, the protective coating applied to the cuttings remains elastic without liquefying, even after exposure to strong sunlight. The pigments in the special Grünwachs “P” paraffin help to deflect the damaging action of solar rays.

Method of use
Grünwachs “P” is melted in suitable electric bain-marie vats, equipped with special stirrer. The rooted cuttings are dipped in the paraffin at a recommended temperature of 85°C. The dipping process must be performed quickly, making sure that the individual cuttings are kept well apart. It is very important that the stirrer is in operation during the dipping process. To cool down the shoot and to make the paraffin solidify, the cuttings should then be immersed in water.
Doses
1.7-2.0 kg of Grünwachs “P” paraffin should be used for every 1000 cuttings.
Packaging
Grünwachs “P” is supplied in 25 kg boxes.
