This substance is a refined mixture of saturated and solid aliphatic hydrocarbons that is produced during the de-oiling process of special parts of the oil refining process. In terms of molecular structure, this substance has a long and branched hydrocarbon chain. Microcrystalline wax is usually used in the formulation of cosmetics, adhesives production, skin care creams, ink, gum, candles, rubber, gel, multi-layered paper products, as well as in the production of coatings and coverings, sealing compounds, ointments and in different types of polishes. This material is also used in the packaging and plastic industries. In general, the uses of microcrystalline wax are categorized as follows:
Production of gum base, lipstick, cold creams and ointments, Food packaging, moisture proof, film, foil, and corrugated board, for Increasing the flexibility of hot melt adhesives, producing colored pencils, candles, welds for sealants Producing some compounds that prevent corrosions, Producing of insulation materials
