Microcrystalline waxes (or microwaxes) are mainly branched hydrocarbon waxes. Due to this branched character these waxes form very fine crystal which lead to special properties like oil and solvent retention. Microcrystalline waxes range in melting points from 60ºC to almost 100ºC and can be both very flexible and hard.
Microcrystalline waxes are used in a wide range of applications like:
- cosmetics creams and ointments;
- chewing gum;
- rust preventives;
- etcetera.
