Sasolwax H1

by Sasol

Sasolwax H1 by Sasol is a fully hydrogenated Fischer-Tropsch hard wax. It is available as coarse powder or pastilles. It is composed of hydrocarbon chains that are predominantly linear.</br><ul style="padding-left: 40px;"> <li>It has high melting point, low viscosity, excellent hardness and has good heat stability.</li> <li>The linear molecule structure of Sasolwax H1 gives a hot melt adhesive the unique characteristics of low viscosity combined with high crystallinity, which ensures ideal performance properties in hot melt adhesives.</li> <li>Being highly compatible with typically used resins, EVA and metallocene polyolefin copolymers, Sasolwax H1 is ideally suited to the requirements of modern hot melt adhesives, particularly in packaging applications.</li> <li>Sasolwax H1 complies with European specifications for food additives according to E905, FDA CFR 21, Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 (Ref. 95859) and BfR (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) XXV.</li></ul>

Ozokerite Wax 1025

by Strahl & Pitsch

Ozokerite Wax 1025 by Strahl & Pitsch is a white, crystalline, odorless and solid wax. It is defined as blends of hydrocarbon waxes. It is most often made from a mixture of paraffin and microcrystalline waxes and when combined offer broader functionality than the constituent ingredients. It increases viscosity, assist in emulsion stability and enhance gel strength in liquid & semi-solid systems. It is a hard wax with a relatively high melt point and penetration values. It is compatible with a wide variety of solvents, oils, fats, resins, petrolatum and other waxes. Ozokerite Wax 1025 is applicable in adhesive products.
