Microcrystalline wax, white amorphous non-crystalline solid wax, With C31-70 branched saturated hydrocarbon-based, with a small amount of cyclic, straight-chain hydrocarbon, odorless and tasteless. Insoluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in hot ethanol,soluble in benzene,ether and the like; with a variety of mineral wax, vegetable wax, and hot fat oil solubility.Mainly in residual oil fractionated as raw materials, refined the legal system.
Microcrystalline wax has been called purified wax, refined petroleum wax, white to light yellow. Products by color, oil content and PAH classification, divided into qualified products,highest grade and food grade. According to the low melting point grade is divided into 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, a total of five grades. Microcrystalline wax white or light yellow solid, the crystal fine, better permeability, adhesion and toughness, and moisture, good insulation.
