In the wax industry, paraffin wax and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax are essential raw materials across multiple industries due to their high purity, strong stability, and broad applicability. The melting point of wax is a key factor that determines its physical properties, application scenarios, and the quality of the final product. (KH) offers high-quality paraffin and FT wax with various melting points to meet diverse industrial needs.
The higher the melting point, the greater the hardness and heat resistance of the wax. For example:
Low-melting paraffin wax (40-55°C): Soft in texture, suitable for paper coatings, rubber additives, and similar applications.
Medium-melting paraffin wax (55-65°C): Commonly used in candles, polishing wax, hot melt adhesives, etc.
High-melting FT wax (above 70°C): High crystallinity and excellent heat resistance, ideal for engineering plastics, rubber processing, coatings, and other demanding applications.
Lower-melting waxes flow more easily, making them suitable as lubricants in rubber and plastics to enhance processing efficiency. In contrast, high-melting FT wax, due to its linear structure, significantly improves pigment dispersion and surface smoothness, making it highly valued in plastic processing and coatings industries.
Waxes with different melting points behave differently in storage, transportation, and usage. For example, high-melting FT wax is more heat-resistant and less prone to deformation, making it suitable for high-temperature environments. In contrast, low-melting waxes are easier to coat and penetrate, making them ideal for paper coatings and moisture-proof applications.
Choosing the appropriate wax melting point requires considering the usage environment, processing method, and product performance requirements. For example, in rubber processing and plastic modification, high-melting FT wax enhances heat resistance and mechanical properties, whereas in paper and coating applications, medium- to low-melting paraffin wax ensures uniform coating and improved waterproofing. Proper selection of the melting point range optimizes wax performance across different industries.
