About Micro Wax

Micro Wax is a specific sort of wax made by de-oiling petroleum. It is utilized in cosmetics as well as beauty products as an optimal binder, viscosity agent, and emollient. Often considered as an alternative to paraffin wax, it has fine crystals and is generally darker, more viscous, denser, tackier and more elastic than paraffin waxes. The wax comes with elastic and adhesive characteristics, which are attendant to its non-straight chain components. The crystal structure of this wax is small and thin, and more flexible than paraffin wax. The structure of Micro Wax also enables micro-crystalline wax to bind solvents or oil.

Exceptional Purity and Stability

Micro Wax offers over 99% purity and is highly refined, delivering exceptional consistency and stability for industrial and commercial use. Its fully deoiled nature and high crystalline index guarantee reliable results across applications.

Versatile Industrial Applications

This micro wax is designed for multiple markets, including rubber, adhesives, plastics, paper manufacturing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its odourless, white solid form, along with its stable melting range, makes it suitable for sensitive formulations and technical requirements.

Optimal Storage and Packaging

To maintain its quality and extend its 24-month shelf life, Micro Wax is packed in bags, cartons, or drums and should be stored in cool, dry environments. This minimizes risks of degradation, preserving efficacy for future use.

FAQs of Micro Wax:

Q: How is micro wax typically used in various industries?

A: Micro wax serves as an essential component in rubber, adhesives, plastics, paper, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products, where it provides lubrication, increases pliability, enhances finish, or acts as a binder and moisture barrier.

Q: What benefits does highly refined, fully deoiled micro wax offer?

A: Thanks to its high refinement and deoiling, this micro wax ensures consistent quality, minimal impurities, a high crystalline index, and extended performance, making it compatible with demanding technical and cosmetic applications.

Q: When should I use micro wax in manufacturing processes?

A: Micro wax should be incorporated when a stable, odourless, and pure wax is needed to improve processing, surface finish, or moisture resistance in your product formulations.

Q: Where should micro wax be stored to maintain optimal shelf life?

A: Store micro wax in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, preferably in its original packagingbe it a bag, carton, or drumto retain its efficacy for up to 24 months.

Q: What is the process for handling and applying micro wax?

A: Handle micro wax as a solid material, melting it within its 6280C range for blending into formulations. Adhere to recommended safety guidelines, as the flash point is 240C. Ensure proper mixing for uniform distribution within products.

Q: What makes this micro wax suitable for sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals or cosmetics?

A: With its odourless, white appearance and very low oil content, combined with high purity and strict refinement, this micro wax meets rigorous quality standards required for sensitive formulations in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
