Microcrystalline wax used for high end candle production

The core industrial applications of microcrystalline wax primarily stem from
its finer crystal structure, superior flexibility, better adhesion, and
strong affinity for oil compared to ordinary paraffin wax.
Packaging and Textile Industry: Microcrystalline wax is commonly used in the
manufacture of impregnating agents, coating agents, and adhesives. It
provides moisture-proof and waterproof layers for packaging materials and is
also applied in impregnation and coating in the textile industry.
Rubber, tire, and plastics industry: As a softener and plasticizer for
rubber, microcrystalline wax can enhance the flexibility, cold resistance,
and processability of rubber, reduce hardness and viscosity, and make it
easier to shape. In the manufacturing of plastics and tires, it is also used
as a processing aid or protective agent.
