At Royal Paraffin, we supply high-quality Microcrystalline Wax, a high-quality petroleum refining byproduct, with a fine crystalline structure, improved flexibility, and good adhesion. In contrast to traditional paraffin wax, which is largely a blend of straight-chain alkanes, microcrystalline wax contains a high proportion of iso-paraffinic (branched) and naphthenic hydrocarbons, which provide an extended range of performance characteristics.
This wax is made up chiefly of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons of high molecular weight, producing a product which is:
These physical properties allow Royal Paraffin’s microcrystalline wax to perform in challenging applications that call for elasticity, adhesion, and heat stability.
The occurrence of non-linear molecular chains imparts a high degree of flexibility and binding ability to this wax. It is especially ideal for:
Its ability to retain structure while under stress makes it a valuable ingredient in any formulation needing long-term cohesion and function.
At Royal Paraffin, we produce and qualify our microcrystalline waxes to strict ASTM specifications for consistency and quality. Some key parameters are:
We provide various grades for various applications:
Laminating Grades
Hardening Grades
Our microcrystalline wax is recovered in the processing of heavy distillate fractions that are being manufactured in lubricant oil production. The material is de-oiled, filtered and hydro-treated to further purify it—eliminating objectionable odor and discoloration, and enhancing the final product’s clarity, texture, and performance.
This rigorous process enables Royal Paraffin to supply waxes that comply with the high requirements of technical and cosmetic sectors.
For convenient handling and storage, our microcrystalline wax is offered in:
Custom packaging is provided upon request to meet special customer requirements and logistic demands.
From compounding cosmetics and adhesives to producing specialty coatings, Royal Paraffin Microcrystalline Wax provides the consistency, performance, and purity your products require.
