Microcrystalline Wax

Product Description

Microcrystalline wax, white amorphous amorphous solid wax, mainly C31-70 branched chain saturated hydrocarbons, containing a small amount of cyclic and straight chain hydrocarbons, odorless and tasteless. Insoluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in hot ethanol, soluble in benzene, chloroform, ether, etc.; miscible with various mineral waxes, vegetable waxes and hot fatty oils. It is mainly obtained by refining the residue of petroleum fractionation as raw material.

Chemical Composition

It is mainly composed of C31-70 branched chain saturated hydrocarbons, contains a small amount of cyclic and straight chain hydrocarbons, the ash content is below 0.05%, and the heavy metal lead and arsenic content are below 2×10-6. This kind of wax is viscous and ductile, not fragile at low temperature, and has the characteristics of preventing oil separation and precipitation when mixed with liquid oil. Microcrystalline wax with a melting point of 77-80 °C is somewhat ductile, similar to ozokerite, and microcrystalline wax with a melting point of 88-90 °C is hard and looks like montan wax.

Application

Glazing agent for paste products, rust inhibitor, carbon paper, candles, packaging dipping and fruit coating; also used in cosmetics, color pens, shoe polish, various glazing waxes, etc.
