    Abstract: A wax-extender emulsion is described herein. In one aspect, the wax-extender emulsion includes a wax component. The wax component may be a petroleum-based wax, a bio-based wax, a synthetic wax or mixtures thereof. The wax-extender emulsion includes a dewatered, kraft lignin associated with the wax component and a pH modifier. The pH modifier a monofunctional amine, a multi-functional amine, an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, or combinations thereof. In one aspect, the emulsion comprises 20 wt % to 60 wt % wax component. During manufacturing, the dewatered, kraft lignin and the wax component may be emulsified and homogenized together to produce the wax-extender emulsion. The wax-extender emulsion can be co-applied as a mixture with adhesive resin during wood-based composite manufacturing.
