Description

Hydrocarbon Waxes, Petroleum, Clay-Treated Microcryst., Contg. Polyethylene, Oxidized, Reaction Products With 2,4-Tdi Oxidized Isocyanated Hydrocarbon Wax CAS NO 68425-32-1 is a specialized, high-performance modified hydrocarbon wax designed for demanding industrial applications. This product matters because it combines the durability of microcrystalline petroleum wax with the enhanced adhesion, compatibility, and surface-modifying properties imparted by oxidation and isocyanate reaction. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers seeking to improve the performance, durability, and processing characteristics of coatings, adhesives, and polymer blends.

Application

• Hot-Melt Adhesives (HMA): Acts as a key rheology modifier and tackifier, improving set time, flexibility, and adhesion to difficult substrates.
• Industrial & Protective Coatings: Enhances water repellency, abrasion resistance, and surface gloss in paints, varnishes, and powder coatings.
• Polymer Processing & Compounding: Used as a lubricant, processing aid, and compatibilizer in plastics and rubber to reduce viscosity and improve mold release.
• Printing Inks: Modifies rheology for improved laydown and provides rub resistance and scuff protection.
• Leather & Textile Finishing: Imparts water resistance, a soft hand feel, and durable surface protection.
• Candle Manufacturing: Serves as a hardening agent and modifier to improve burn characteristics and structural integrity in specialty candles.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Forms a protective, hydrophobic barrier in coatings and greases for metal protection.
• Sealants & Caulks: Improves flexibility, weather resistance, and application properties.

Quality Control

Our production of this modified hydrocarbon wax adheres to a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested against key parameters including acid value, saponification value, melting point, penetration, and viscosity to ensure consistent performance and batch-to-batch uniformity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Isolate from strong oxidizing agents.
