Description

Paraffin Waxes And Hydrocarbon Waxes, Microcryst., Hydrotreated are a specialized class of high-melting, refined petroleum-derived waxes characterized by their fine, microcrystalline structure and enhanced stability from hydrotreating. This product is engineered to deliver superior performance in applications requiring excellent flexibility, high tensile strength, and resistance to oils and solvents. It is a critical raw material for industries such as hot-melt adhesives, rubber compounding, plastics modification, and the production of high-quality polishes and coatings.

Application

• Formulation of high-performance hot-melt adhesives and sealants for packaging, woodworking, and product assembly.
• As a processing aid and plasticizer in rubber and tire manufacturing to improve extrusion and mold release.
• Key component in the production of candles and specialty wax blends for enhanced burn characteristics and surface finish.
• Modifier for plastics and polymers to improve lubricity, moisture barrier properties, and impact resistance.
• Base material for industrial and automotive polishes, coatings, and corrosion protectants.
• Used in investment casting and as a binder in powder metallurgy.
• Impregnation and waterproofing agent for paper, textiles, and electrical components.
• Blending component in cosmetics and personal care products like lip balms and creams.

Quality Control

Our hydrotreated microcrystalline waxes are manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for congealing point, penetration, viscosity, oil content, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, and we can support compliance with relevant industry standards such as FDA 21 CFR 172.886, USP-NF, and other food-contact or pharmaceutical-grade requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures below 40°C (104°F) to prevent softening or deformation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
