Hydrotreated microcrystalline wax
What is 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
