Fischer Tropsch wax is a methylene polymer, is a hydrocarbon synthesis gas or natural gas synthesis of alkane polymers, mainly rely on coal chemical quality cheap raw materials for iron-based or cobalt-based synthesis, compared with the price of crude oil.
The product range includes high-melt waxes used as performance additives in many specialty applications and medium-melt waxes which are used in similar applications to paraffin waxes.
High-melt FT waxes have a unique combination of high melting point, low viscosity, and hardness, even at elevated temperatures, which ensure superior performance in applications such as hot melt adhesives (HMA), printing inks, and coatings, bitumen modification, polymer processing, and polishes and textiles. These products are often used in conjunction with lower melting microcrystalline and paraffin waxes.
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 boards.
