Fischer tropsch wax used for thickening agent

In rigid PVC processing, Fischer-Tropsch wax serves as a thickener and heat
stabiliser, enhancing material workability and finished product stability.
Within cosmetic bases, it imparts lubricity and softness, frequently employed
in conditioners, lipsticks and similar products as a thickener and emollient to
improve texture and moisturising effects. For the ink industry, Fischer-Tropsch
wax serves as a thickener for binders, optimising ink rheology, gloss, and
abrasion resistance while supporting the trend towards environmentally friendly
inks. In coatings and adhesives, it acts as a thickener and stabiliser by
improving suspension and lubricity, such as enhancing application properties in
architectural paints and water-based emulsions.
