High Melting Point and Narrow Melting Range: It features a high melting point of approximately 120°C and a narrow melting range. This enables it to maintain a stable physical state in high-temperature environments, resisting melting and deformation. It is suitable for applications with extremely high heat resistance requirements, such as high-temperature lubrication and high-temperature molding processes.

Low Melt Viscosity: With extremely low viscosity in the molten state, it can effectively reduce the melt viscosity of processing materials like plastics, enhancing the fluidity of materials during processing and improving production efficiency. It is particularly suitable for scenarios such as extrusion processing of high-viscosity systems.

Excellent Lubricity: It can serve as a high-quality internal and external lubricant. Due to its small molecular weight, few branches, and high crystallinity, it easily penetrates between high-viscosity macromolecular chains, effectively reducing friction between molecular chains. It not only promotes material flow in the early stages of processing but also exhibits significant lubricating effects in the later stages.

Low Migration Rate: Characterized by low oil content and low penetration, 120# Fischer-Tropsch wax is resistant to migration in products. When used in plastic processing, it can maintain the stable performance of products for a long time, preventing issues such as surface stickiness and exudation caused by wax migration, thus ensuring the appearance and usability of the products.

Strong Oxidation Resistance: Composed mainly of saturated straight-chain alkanes with no double bonds, it boasts extremely strong oxidation resistance. During long-term use, it is not easily oxidized and has excellent weather resistance. Even in outdoor or harsh environments, it can maintain stable performance for an extended period.

Improving Product Surface Quality: A small amount of addition can significantly enhance the surface gloss of products, making their appearance more attractive. Meanwhile, it helps in the uniform dispersion of pigments and fillers during mixing, resulting in more consistent coloration of the products.

High Hardness and Wear Resistance: Its high melting point endows it with high hardness, and its fine crystal structure and uniform texture contribute to excellent wear resistance. It can be used in products requiring high hardness and wear resistance, such as high-end polishing materials and wear-resistant coatings.

Suitable for High-End Applications: Thanks to its high melting point and high performance, it is applicable in some high-end fields. For example, it can be used as a refined hard wax in glazing agent products; when used as a rubber protective wax, it can effectively prevent ozone damage to rubber; it can also be added to hot-melt adhesives to improve their heat resistance and quick-drying properties.
