High melting point fischer tropsch wax used in adhesive

In adhesives, Fischer-Tropsch wax is primarily used in hot-melt adhesives,
particularly EVA-based hot-melt adhesives, where it is considered an ideal
synthetic wax. Its core function is to adjust performance: its high melting
point enhances the adhesive’s heat resistance and fast-drying properties,
while its low viscosity facilitates rapid resin mixing and improves
processing efficiency.‌‌
In formulations, wax is one of the most effective performance modifiers for
hot-melt adhesives. The melting point and crystallinity of the wax directly
control the hot-melt adhesive’s initial setting temperature and curing time,
and also affect the final product’s plasticity and tensile properties.
Fischer-Tropsch wax is typically added at a concentration of about 10% to
30%. It can adjust the hardness, melt viscosity, and open time of the
adhesive, and can also serve as a lubricant and dispersant for tackifying
resins, thereby enhancing bond strength.‌
