What is Microcrystalline Wax Made of?

Microcrystalline wax provided by KH, a reliable wax supplier, is a tasteless white amorphous solid wax. It is the residue of oil fractionation and is a long chain hydrocarbon with high boiling point obtained by solvent extraction and chemical treatment. The Microcrystalline wax is mainly composed of C31-70 branched-chain saturated hydrocarbons and a small number of cyclic and branched-chain hydrocarbons. And the melting point of microcrystalline wax is 60-85°C. It is miscible with various mineral waxes, vegetable waxes and hot fat oils. Like soft waxes, microcrystalline waxes with melting points of 77-80°C also exhibit some degree of ductility.
