Microcrystalline wax used in sealant for electronic components

Microcrystalline wax is a high-melting-point, fine-crystalline wax refined
from petroleum fractions. Compared to common paraffin wax, its key properties
make it exceptionally well-suited for electronic sealing:
Fine crystalline structure: Its minute crystals form a dense, resilient wax
film with outstanding moisture and water resistance. This is its primary
merit as a sealant.
High melting point and viscosity: Typically melting between 60°C and 90°C,
its elevated softening point ensures superior thermal stability, resisting
softening and migration in elevated temperatures.
Excellent adhesion and flexibility: Adheres effectively to diverse material
surfaces while maintaining crack resistance at low temperatures.
Superior electrical insulation: Inherently an excellent insulating material,
preventing short circuits.
