Description

Slack Wax (Petroleum), Hydrotreated is a refined, high-purity petroleum-derived wax obtained through a hydrotreating process to remove impurities and improve stability. This material serves as a crucial intermediate and performance additive, valued for its consistent quality, excellent lubricity, and controlled melting properties. It is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, rubber, plastics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking reliable raw materials for product formulation and process enhancement.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a key emollient and consistency regulator in creams, lotions, lip balms, and hair care products.
• Rubber & Tire Manufacturing: Used as a processing aid and anti-ozonant to improve mold release, flexibility, and surface finish.
• Plastics & Polymer Processing: Functions as an internal and external lubricant to enhance flow properties and aid in extrusion and molding.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Imparts structure, water resistance, and desired texture to lubricating greases and specialty pastes.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Provides tack, body, and moisture resistance in hot-melt adhesives and various sealant formulations.
• Candles & Wax Blends: Serves as a cost-effective component to modify the burn rate, opacity, and hardness of candle wax blends.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliaries: Employed in coatings and finishes to provide water repellency and a soft hand feel.
• Investment Casting: Used in pattern wax formulations for the precision casting of metal parts.
