Polyboost

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. POLYBOOST™ has the ability to bind the oil in paraffins and disperses colorants and fragrances into the paraffin phase. When added in low concentrations to crude scale or slack wax, POLYBOOST™ polymer yields a blend which is harder, yet has basically the same melt viscosity, cloud point, and melt point as the paraffin. POLYBOOST™ has been found to be noticeably more effective than stearic acid for adding opacity and for imparting resistance to thermal shock.

The following benefits can be achieved by adding relatively small additions – less than 3% by weight.
