Microcrystalline wax used for wood polish

Microcrystalline wax is a commonly used wood polish, particularly prevalent
in high-end timber maintenance. It forms a transparent, resilient protective
film on the wood surface, effectively filling minute gaps in the wood fibres.
This enhances the wood's lustre while providing waterproofing and scratch-
resistant protection.
Key advantages of microcrystalline wax as a wood polish:
‌Superior flexibility and adhesion: Its molecular structure, primarily
composed of naphthenic and branched-chain alkanes, renders it softer and more
elastic than paraffin wax. This allows it to conform closely to the wood
surface, resisting cracking or flaking.
Deep penetration, no polishing required: Some modern microcrystalline wax
products utilise micromolecular technology to penetrate deep into wood
fibres, nourishing the timber. After application, a simple wipe is sufficient
to achieve a warm, lustrous finish without the need for traditional polishing
equipment.
