Microcrystalline Wax 5 Kg

Microcrystalline wax, often referred to as simply crystalline wax, is a white, odorless material, solid at room temperature and characteristics by its ultrafine crystal formation. Bulk microcrystalline wax is sought-after for its high elasticity and higher melting point than other waxes with a melting point of 86 C, almost 50 degrees higher than normal paraffin wax. Microcrystalline wax has a multitude of applications across several industries. In the personal-care and cosmetic industry, this wax is suitable for formulations requiring a harder composition and more resistance to melting, such as deodorants, lipsticks, chapsticks, mascara, and other makeup products that may need water repelling properties. It may also be used in products containing water and oil to act as an emulsifying agent, such as in lotions and creams. Paraffin wax is often modified by adding microcrystalline wax to alter the overall combined properties to the desired elasticity for the end formulation. In addition to the cosmetic world, microcrystalline wax is used for industrial applications in areas such as tire and rubber production, adhesives, sculpture manufacturing, and castings.
