Description
Microcrystalline wax for adhesives is a high-melting (76-87 °C), food-grade mineral wax with very high hardness, supplied as white pellets. It is mainly used to make hot-melt adhesives and gum base, where it adds hardness and durability to the final material, and in industrial uses that need hard materials. It is intended for manufacturers in the adhesives and food industries.
