Add to paraffin wax to increase viscosity and tackiness.
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.
Physical Characteristics
- Melting Point 72 – 76°C
- Oil content 2.4 – 4.8%

How to Use
- Blend with paraffin wax to make modelling wax
- Blend with paraffin wax to make shell of hurricane candles
- Blend with paraffin wax to overdip pillar and taper candles to prevent dripping
