Microcrystalline wax used as physical antioxidant and processing aid

The core function of industrial-grade microcrystalline wax is to serve as a
modifier, thickener, and functional additive, leveraging its microcrystalline
structure, high melting point, strong adhesion, and ductility to play a
pivotal role in various industrial scenarios.
Paraffin modifier: By adding a small amount to regular paraffin, it changes
the crystal form, improves water and moisture permeability, enhances bending
resistance and plasticity, making the paraffin more suitable for applications
such as waterproofing, moistureproofing, paper making, and mold making. ‌‌
Grease thickener: Utilizing its characteristics of high gel strength, good
adhesion, and excellent protective properties, it is used to manufacture
instrument and sealing greases as well as Vaseline. ‌‌
Rubber and tire industry: Used as a physical antioxidant and processing aid
to prevent ozone cracking and improve processing performance; adding
microcrystalline wax to rubber formulations can also aid in mold release. ‌‌
Coating and ink industry: used in hot-melt road marking paint, paint, and ink
to enhance wear resistance, waterproofing, and flexibility.
