Microcrystalline wax used for waterproof and moisture-resistant

Microcrystalline wax is a highly effective waterproof and moisture-resistant
material, owing primarily to its chemical stability, strong water-repellency,
good flexibility and excellent adhesion.
It has a wide range of industrial applications, primarily in the following
areas:
Flooring and building materials: Used as a waterproof sealing layer for
laminate flooring, it penetrates the surface of the material to form a
waterproof barrier whilst preventing the release of harmful substances from
the flooring. It is also used as a waterproof coating for corrugated
cardboard boxes.
Premium packaging: It is used as a waterproof layer in packaging boxes for
tobacco, alcohol and cosmetics, providing dual waterproofing to prevent the
packaging from becoming damp, softening and losing strength.
Other industrial products: It is used as an ingredient in rust inhibitors,
candles and polishes, utilising its stability and water resistance to provide
sealing, protection and a glossy finish.
