Hydrotreated microcrystalline wax

Hydrotreated microcrystalline wax (CAS 92045-76-6) is a refined petroleum-derived wax produced through hydrotreatment to reduce aromatic and impurity content.

Where is Hydrotreated microcrystalline wax used?

• Coatings, adhesives, rubber and polymer processing: rheology modifier, lubricant and plasticizer
• Hot-melt adhesives and sealants: controls viscosity and open time while improving flexibility in the final bond
• Rubber and tire manufacturing: protective bloom agent and processing aid against ozone degradation
• Coatings: adjusts slip, gloss and mar resistance in industrial and decorative finishes
• Plastics compounding: internal and external lubricant that reduces melt viscosity and prevents die buildup during extrusion

Commercial specifications

• Melt point ranges typically from approximately 60°C to over 90°C
• Packing in cartons, bags or bulk containers
