‌Role in rubber processing‌

‌Enhancing weather resistance and anti-ageing properties‌: After vulcanisation, microcrystalline wax slowly migrates to the surface of the rubber, forming a dense, continuous physical protective film that effectively blocks the erosion of rubber molecular chains by ozone, oxygen and ultraviolet light, thereby delaying cracking and ageing.

Role in plastics processing:

Optimising flow properties: Acting as an internal lubricant, it reduces the viscosity of the plastic melt, improving mould filling and demoulding properties.

Enhancing surface quality: It increases the gloss, abrasion resistance and anti-adhesion properties of the finished product, and is widely used in electronic product casings, packaging materials and similar applications.
