Technical Description
It is a flexible, odorless, and highly refined wax produced during the dewaxing process of heavy lubricating oils. Unlike paraffin wax, it contains fine crystals that give it superior elasticity, better oil retention, and excellent adhesive qualities. Because of these properties, manufacturers across cosmetics, food packaging, rubber, candle production, and pharmaceuticals prefer it for long-lasting performance.
This wax blends smoothly with oils, resins, and additives, making it ideal for products that require stability and shine. It performs reliably in both high and low temperatures, which is why it’s widely used in lip balms, creams, chewing gum bases, printing inks, and industrial applications.
Our Microcrystalline wax is produced under strict quality control and is available in multiple grades, including cosmetic, industrial, and food-contact variants. Each batch is tested to ensure purity, consistency, and compliance with international standards. We offer flexible packaging and support global shipments, including documentation and export assistance.
