The application of microcrystalline wax in the casting industry is primarily reflected in the following areas:
Casting release agent
Microcrystalline wax, due to its excellent release properties, is commonly used as a release agent in the casting of materials such as rubber and plastic. For example, during the molding process of rubber products, adding microcrystalline wax reduces mold adhesion, facilitating demolding.
Casting model components
Microcrystalline wax improves the water permeability and moisture permeability of paraffin wax and enhances its resistance to bending, making it a common wax component in casting models. For example, in the preparation of mechanical models such as ship hull models, microcrystalline wax can enhance the model's toughness and waterproof performance.
Casting process additives
In precision casting processes, microcrystalline wax can be used as a process additive to improve the surface quality of castings, prevent cracking, and enhance demolding efficiency.
