Microcrystalline Wax

• MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX - This is a petroleum-based wax that is more opaque, viscous, dense, tacky, and elastic than paraffin wax.
• APPLICATIONS - Microcrystalline Wax is ideal as a viscosity agent in cosmetics and beauty products, as a binder, and as an emollient. Ideal for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
• FLEXIBLE - Microcrystalline wax is elastic and adhesive, making it a better choice than paraffin wax for arts and crafts projects requiring malleable consistency.
• THREE TYPES - This microcrystalline wax is available in soft, medium, and hard forms. The hard version provides structure, adhesion, and protection, making it ideal for creating a rigid and protective coating. The medium version is used as a rheology modifier, improves oil-binding properties, and protects against moisture. The soft version is a flexible and relatively sticky wax, which makes it an excellent additive for jar candles.
• PACKAGING - This wax is available in 1 lb, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 25 kg.
