Industrial waxes are widely used in packaging, hot melt adhesives, rubber processing, investment casting, and many other industries. At King Honor, we emphasize that the performance of waxes is not determined by a single property, but by the combined effect of several key parameters. Among them, melting point, hardness, and color are critical factors that influence both performance and stability in end-use applications.
1. Melting Point: Determines Heat Resistance and Processing Compatibility
The melting point is one of the most fundamental physical parameters of wax, reflecting how it behaves when heated.
Waxes with higher melting points offer better heat resistance, making them ideal for applications like packaging coatings and high-temperature adhesives.
Lower melting point waxes are easier to apply and are suitable for surface treatments, paper coating, and other fast-processing applications.
King Honor offers a wide range of waxes from medium- and low-melting paraffin waxes to high-melting Fischer-Tropsch waxes to meet diverse application needs.
2. Hardness: Affects Strength, Shrinkage, and Flexibility
Hardness, often measured by penetration value, determines how the wax performs under pressure.
Hard waxes provide better structural strength and are widely used in investment casting, PVC processing, and rubber extrusion—where shape retention is critical.
Softer waxes offer greater flexibility, enhance surface gloss and extensibility, and are ideal for polishes and wax emulsions.
Due to its naturally dense molecular structure, Fischer-Tropsch wax generally has higher hardness than paraffin wax, making it suitable for demanding mechanical applications.
3. Color: Reflects Purity and Aesthetic Appeal
Although color is not a primary technical specification, it often indicates the level of refinement and purity of the wax.
Water-lear or light-colored waxes contain fewer impurities and are preferred for cosmetics, candles, and food packaging where appearance matters.
In industrial applications, consistent color contributes to uniform product appearance and helps avoid batch-to-batch variation.
At King Honor, we focus on supplying highly refined, color-stable industrial waxes to ensure consistent visual appeal and reliable chemical performance.
