Industrial microcrystalline waxes are widely used in the following areas due to their lubricating, stabilising and film-forming properties:
Lubrication & Coating
Used as a lubricant in metal working and machine building to reduce friction of parts and protect surfaces. In the field of industrial lubrication, microcrystalline wax can reduce the friction loss of mechanical parts.
Inks and Coatings
As ink additives to improve water resistance, abrasion resistance and gloss; in coatings to control drying time and enhance adhesion.
Rubber & Plastic Processing
As a softener to improve processing performance, flexibility and ageing resistance. Electronics Industry
Used as a sealant for electronic components to prevent moisture erosion; also used as an insulating material to protect electronic equipment.
Food Packaging
Microcrystalline wax coatings are used as moisture, water and oil repellents to maintain food freshness.
Textile and Leather
Improve the softness and waterproof performance of fabrics and leather, and form a protective layer to enhance water resistance and sunlight resistance.
