Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Wax
-
- Description:
Microcrystalline Waxes are amorphous-like in appearance. The molecular weights of commercial microcrystallines are between 580-700 g/m, with the average molecule containing 41-50 carbon atoms. The largest proportions of molecules are branched chain hydrocarbons with some straight chain hydrocarbons present.
Microcrystalline Waxes are non-toxic and non-irritating to the skin and eyes. They are compatible with most mineral waxes, vegetable waxes, esters, and all their oils. Microcrystalline Waxes are flexible, have higher tensile strength than paraffin, more adhesion than paraffin, are less oily, and typically have a higher melt point than paraffin.
