• Microcrystalline Wax is defined as a refined mixture of solid, saturated hydrocarbons, mainly branched paraffin, obtained from petroleum.
• It is a colourless or white, somewhat transluent, tasteless and odourless wax.
• Microcrystalline wax is insoluble in water, very slightly soluble in ethanol, sparingly soluble in diethyl ether and hexane.
• Microcrystalline wax contains a higher percentage of isoparaffinic (branched) hydrocarbons and naphthenic hydrocarbons.
• It is characterized by the fineness of its crystals in contrast to the larger crystal of paraffin wax. It consists of high molecular weight saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons.
• Typical microcrystalline wax crystal structure is small and thin, making them more flexible than paraffin wax.
• Microcrystalline wax is highly viscous, it has good extensibility, does not become brittle at low temperature, has very fine microcrystals, a high melting point and shows excellent adhesion, particularly when it is heated.
• The MC Waxes are produced usually from distillate residues.
• Microcrystalline waxes are of two types: Flexible MCW and Hard MCW.
• In rubber industry as an additive to provide softness, lustre and weathering protective for household & industrial rubber goods.
• It is used as an ingredient of rubber compounding in tyre industry to provide protection against action of light, oxygen & ozone.
• The unique property of MCW to bind oil with other liquids is used for manufacture of jellies required for industrial, pharmaceutical and jelly
  filled telecommunication cable applications.
• Wax solutions are used in the calibration of lab glassware, polishes. It is also used in cosmetics and textile finishing.
• Imports of Chinese wax to the U.S. market have grown from 15% to 47%. At the same time the supply of wax from China to other regions of the world has grown steadily as well. With an availability of high wax crudes combined with spare capacity, China has become the incremental source for the global wax requirements.
