Produced via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from natural gas-derived syngas, it features a melting point of 60°C and a linear alkane structure (C20–C30 dominant) that delivers exceptional chemical stability . With a viscosity of 5–8 mPa·s @100°C and ≤0.5% oil content, it bridges the gap between low-melt paraffins and high-melt FT waxes. Its pale yellow appearance and narrow molecular weight distribution make it suitable for processes requiring consistent solidification behavior .
Rapid Crystallization
Narrow melting range (58–62°C) ensures quick setting in candle production, reducing cooling time by 25% compared to paraffin wax .
Low Melt Viscosity
At 5–8 mPa·s @100°C, it improves pigment wetting in color concentrates, enabling 10% higher pigment loading without viscosity issues .
Oxidation Resistance
Linear structure without branched hydrocarbons provides 3x longer shelf life in hot melt adhesives compared to microcrystalline waxes .
Candle Manufacturing
In container candles, it reduces sink marks by 90% and extends burn time by 15% through controlled melt pool formation. Compatible with fragrance oils and dyes .
Rubber Processing
As a lubricant in EPDM and SBR compounds, it reduces mixing time by 20% and improves mold release without affecting vulcanization .
Textile Sizing
Formulates into water-based emulsions that enhance yarn strength by 18% during weaving, with easy removability in post-processing .
What is the melting point range of WY-60?

Uniform Product Quality: It has a concentrated carbon distribution and a narrow molecular weight distribution. This ensures more stable overall performance of No. 60 Fischer-Tropsch wax with minimal batch-to-batch variation, facilitating precise control of product quality in industrial production.
Low Thermal Weight Loss: It exhibits extremely low thermal weight loss, with minimal mass loss during heating. It maintains stable mass within a certain temperature range, helping to improve the performance stability of products incorporating it.
No Migration or Exudation: During use, it does not migrate or exude, eliminating the risk of wax migrating to the surface of products and affecting their appearance or performance. This ensures products retain excellent performance and appearance over the long term, making it suitable for applications requiring high surface quality, such as PVC plastic products and powder coatings.
Enhanced Surface Gloss of Products: In plastic processing, such as the production of color masterbatches and modified plastics, No. 60 Fischer-Tropsch wax aids in filler dispersion, provides excellent slipperiness, and significantly enhances the surface gloss of finished products.
