Microcrystalline wax used for rubber and tires

In industrial applications, microcrystalline wax is primarily used for rubber protection, thickening greases, moisture protection in packaging, coatings and inks, and precision casting.‌‌
‌Rubber and Tires‌: Microcrystalline wax acts as a physical antioxidant in rubber. During processing, it migrates to the surface to form a dense film that blocks ozone and ultraviolet rays, preventing cracking and aging in tires and seals. It also reduces mold release adhesion and improves processing efficiency.
‌Grease Thickening‌: Microcrystalline wax has high gel strength, excellent adhesion, and protective properties. It is commonly used as a thickening agent for greases and petroleum jelly used in instruments and seals to prevent the separation and migration of liquid oil components.
