Main applications of microcrystalline wax in casting:
As a component of wax patterns: Microcrystalline wax is commonly used in the formulation of precision casting wax compounds. It is blended in specific proportions with paraffin, resins, natural waxes and other materials to enhance the flexibility, resistance to deformation, surface finish and dimensional stability of the wax patterns.
Suitable for high-precision castings: Widely used in fields with high demands for surface quality and dimensional accuracy, such as aeroengine blades, medical devices, automotive components and jewellery.
Improved demoulding performance: Microcrystalline wax’s low-temperature plasticity and high-temperature stability facilitate the precise forming of wax patterns within complex moulds and help maintain their shape during the pouring process.
Reduced post-processing: Castings produced using microcrystalline wax have a smooth, fine surface finish and typically require no additional polishing.
