Microcrystalline wax, a.k.a  microwax 25kg

Both microcrystalline waxes and paraffin waxes are products of crude oil refining.  Microcrystalline waxes have a different physical structure to paraffin waxes in that they have a very fine crystalline structure.  Microwaxes also have a higher molecular weight than paraffin waxes.

Microcrystalline waxes are far more flexible and viscous (sticky) than paraffin waxes.
