Pure White High Melting Point Fischer Tropsch Wax WY-113

Product Overview

Distinguished by its 113°C melting point—within the high-range category of 100–115°C for Fischer Tropsch waxes—this product exhibits exceptional thermal stability and chemical purity, with a purity level of ≥99% . Its pure white appearance and low volatility make it suitable for applications requiring strict color and contamination control, while its linear hydrocarbon structure ensures superior resistance to oxidation and weathering compared to conventional paraffin waxes .

Product Features

Superior Thermal Resistance

The 113°C melting point enables stable performance in high-temperature industrial processes, preventing softening or degradation even under prolonged heat exposure. This characteristic outperforms medium-melting-point waxes (80–100°C) in demanding environments .

Exceptional Chemical Stability

With minimal double bonds in its molecular structure, Pure White Fischer Tropsch Wax WY-113 demonstrates strong antioxidant properties, reducing discoloration and rancidity over time. This stability is critical for long-shelf-life products in cosmetics and food-related applications .

Low Impurity Profile

Its pure white color and ≤0.1% oil content ensure compatibility with sensitive formulations, including cosmetic creams, pharmaceuticals, and food-contact coatings. This meets stringent standards for indirect food contact, aligning with FDA regulations .

Product Applications

Plastic Processing

As a lubricant and dispersing agent in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyolefin manufacturing, it improves melt flow and mold release, enhancing production efficiency by up to 15% in masterbatch processing .

Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals

Used as a hardening agent in lipsticks and a texture regulator in lotions, its low impurity profile ensures skin compatibility. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a coating medium for tablets, providing controlled release .

Coatings & Adhesives

In hot-melt adhesives and packaging coatings, it enhances water resistance and gloss while reducing viscosity. It extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables when used as an edible coating .

FAQ
