Specialty waxes are customized waxes designed for specific applications, ranging from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to industrial processes like molding and coatings. They offer tailored properties such as high melting points, purity, and specific textures to meet diverse industry requirements.
Polyethylene wax (PE wax) is a synthetic wax made from polyethylene, a polymer composed of repeating ethylene monomer units. Here are some physical features of polyethylene wax: Applications Appearance: Polyethylene wax is typically available as a solid in various forms, including granules, flakes, or powders. It is usually white or pale yellow in color. Melting Point: The melting point of polyethylene wax can vary depending on its molecular weight and degree of crystallinity.
Fischer-Tropsch wax, also known as FT wax, is a petroleum-derived wax produced through the Fischer-Tropsch process. It exhibits the following physical features: Characteristics Appearance: Fischer-Tropsch wax is a hard, solid substance at room temperature. It is typically found as white or off-white flakes, pellets, or powders. Melting Point: The melting point of FT wax can vary depending on the specific composition, but it generally ranges between 45°C (113°F) and 100°C (212°F).
Anti-ozone wax, also known as ozone-resistant wax or ozone protector wax, is a specialized wax that is used to protect rubber and other elastomers from the degrading effects of ozone exposure. While the specific composition of anti-ozone waxes may vary, they generally exhibit the following physical features: Characteristics Appearance: Anti-ozone waxes are typically solid materials at room temperature, commonly available in the form of flakes, pellets, or blocks. Melting Point: The melting point of anti-ozone wax can vary depending on the specific formulation, but it is typically in the range of 60°C (140°F) to 100°C (212°F).
The POLYBOOST™ line of wax modifying polymers is based on the polymerization of Normal Alpha Olefin (NAO’s). These unique, highly branched materials are effective crystal modifiers for most hydrocarbon waxes and non-polar resins. POLYBOOST™ can be used as an alternate additive to Stearic Acid or Microcrystalline Wax. In fact, POLYBOOST™ has been described as a “hyper-micro wax” due to its extremely branched molecular structure. POLYBOOST™ is an n-Alpha Olefin derived waxy polymer.
Jelly wax, also known as gel wax, is a unique type of wax made primarily from mineral oil and a polymer resin. It is transparent, rubbery, and has a jelly-like consistency, making it distinct from traditional waxes such as paraffin or soy wax. Its clarity and texture allow for creative and decorative applications, especially in the realm of candle making. Characteristics Transparency: Jelly wax is renowned for its crystal-clear transparency.
