ACT Microcrystalline wax is a consistency regulator and oil binder. It is a multicomponent blend consisting of predominantly saturated hydrocarbons. It has a significantly elevated content of iso and cyclo-alkanes. This is crucial for the microcrystalline structure, the ductility, smoothness, and the outstanding oil absorption capacity of the substances. ACT Microcrystalline wax improves stability, adds structure and hardness to lip balm sticks and other products in stick form used as beauty products, without being excessively crystalline. It is also used in creams, lotions, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Functions & Benefits:
- ACT wax is effective at protecting rubber from ozone and oxygen intrusion at temperatures ranging from -30° C to 60° C.
- ACT wax also offers a small amount of a low-paraffin chemical, which enhances the thin film’s cold-weather performance.
- It provides an excellent dispersive and serves as an anti-blooming agent thanks to its controlled congealing point.
- ACT wax has a wide variety of molecular weights.
- It gives the product a glossy look.
APPLICATIONS:
ACT waxes are utilized in a variety of sectors as a key component or an end product, as a manufacturing assistance or a crucial ingredient, and are used to make:
- Candles, Torches, Tapers, Matches, Floor Polishes, among other things.
- Automobile polishes, corrosion inhibitors
- Electrical businesses, compound for filling cables
- Rubber and tires serve as ozone protectors.
- Production of paper, carbon paper, pencils and pens, and ski wax
