MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX 3179

A light yellow blended microcrystalline wax suitable for most applications. It is an oil derived product obtained from the dewaxing of lube oil in the refinery process. It is made up of saturated hydrocarbons possessing a fine-grained crystal structure which renders them more flexible than paraffin waxes which are brittle when fractured. Microcrystalline was is very flexible, giving increased melt point, opacity and durability.
