Synthetic Waxes: With its VESTOWAXR product range Evonik offers synthetic waxes produced by Fischer-Tropsch-Process. This process yields straight-chain products possessing low viscosity in the melt and having molecular weights of between 500 and 1,000 g/mol. The definition of the term ›wax‹ is based less on the chemical composition of a substance than on its physical properties:- kneadable at 20 °C, with a consistency ranging from solid to brittle-hard
- coarsely to finely crystalline, translucent to opaque
- melt above 40 °C without decomposition
- already of relatively low viscosity at just above the melting point
- highly temperature-dependent consistency and solubility
- can be polished under gentle pressure
In addition to crude FT-wax, the range of VESTOWAXR products includes modified hard paraffins, oxidates and partially saponified waxes. Depending on the supply form different bags sizes are offered: Prills and micro prills usually in 25 kg bags or 700 kg big bags, pellets, flakes and coarse powder usually in 20 kg bags, microfine powder usually in 15 kg bags.Your benefits: - solutions for a multitude of applications
- extensive range of FT-modified grades
- wide variety of supply forms- from pellets to microfine powder
