Synthetic Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Wax

Description

Description
Carmel Fischer-Tropsch synthetic waxes are specially formulated waxes manufactured in a controlled environment. This process involves using carbon monoxide and hydrogen as feedstock, producing saturated, straight-chain hydrocarbons of consistently high purity and quality. This results in a highly linear molecular structure which gives the wax many desirable properties.
Our synthetic Fischer-Tropsch product range includes both high-melt waxes used as performance additives in a range of applications, and medium-melt waxes which are used in similar applications to paraffin waxes.
High-melt Fischer-Tropsch waxes have a unique combination of high melting point, low viscosity and hardness, even at elevated temperatures, which ensure superior performance in a variety of applications. These include:
Hot melt adhesives (HMA)
Printing inks and coatings
Bitumen modification
Polymer processing
Polishes and textiles
These products are often used in conjunction with lower melting microcrystalline and paraffin waxes.
Additional Information
Medium-melt FT
Medium-melt FT waxes are typically used as alternatives to petroleum waxes and exhibit superior properties in a number of applications such as waterproofing of construction board.
