Microcrystalline waxes are derived from the refining of the heavy distillates from lubricant oil production. The product then must be DE-oiled at a wax refinery. Depending on the end use and desired specification, the product then may have its odor removed and color removed (which typically starts as a brown or dark yellow). This is usually done by means of a filtration method or by hydrotreating the wax material. We can offer you Imported Microcrystalline Wax from the Countries like Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany,etc.
Applications:
- Base for chewing gum, lipstick, cold creams, and ointments (where they harden, lubricate, carry additives, and protect against moisture)
- Food packaging, moisture proofing, film, foil, and corrugated board
- Increasing the fluidity and the flexible bonding of hot-melt adhesives
- Crayons, candles and caulk to sealants and fine polishes
- Host for compounds that prevent rust
- Insulating materials
- Cosmetic formulations like Skin Care creams,etc.
- Candle Additives (where they “bind” excessive oil or fragrances)
- Various types of Polishes or Sealing Compositions.
