Natural wax
Brazilian carnauba wax: high hardness, good gloss, commonly used in food, cosmetics.
Beeswax: with moisturising properties, used in skin care products and ointments.
Synthetic waxes.
Polyethylene wax: high temperature resistant, used in coatings, plastic processing.
PTFE wax: excellent lubrication, used in engineering materials.
Fischer-Tropsch Wax: high melting point, used for inks, hot melt adhesives.
Modified waxes
Oxidised polyethylene wax: improved polarity, used for pigment dispersion.
II. Main applications of micronized wax
Coatings and inks
Improve surface abrasion resistance and scratch resistance.
Improve levelling and prevent pigment settling.
Plastics and Rubber
As lubricant or mould releasing agent, improve processing efficiency.
Enhance surface gloss of products.
Cosmetics and skin care products
Used in foundations, lipsticks, etc. to improve spreading and setting effects.
