IGI Wax will exhibit with us at Surfex, stand M35
We will be exhibiting IGI Wax's wide range of microcrystallines and wax blends at Surfex next week. We'll also be launching their new micronised waxes. Also on Stand M35 at the Harrogate International Centre on the 8th-9th June. Come and see us.
THE INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. (IGI Wax) is an international leader in technology, development and manufacturing of wax based products including microcrystalline, paraffin and other petroleum based products for coatings, inks and packaging. IGI also offer custom-made waxes and their blends.
Microsere™ Microcrystalline Waxes
Tougher, more flexible and generally with higher melting points then paraffin waxes. The fine crystal structure of Microsere™ microcrystalline waxes means the wax can bind to solvents and oils preventing sweating-out. Microsere™ microcrystalline waxes can be grouped into laminating, coating or hardening waxes depending on their melting point and hardness and are used in many applications including inks, packaging and adhesives.
Accumelt™ and IGI 2002A
These waxes are used in ink applications as ink additives because they offer Narrow molecular weight and sharp melting points, improved mar resistance, good release properties and they help with consistent colour in coloured inks.
Paraffin & Petrolatum Wax
Fully refined paraffin waxes with low, medium and high melting point options and pharmaceutical and industrial grades of Petrolatum. The waxes are non-reactive, non-toxic, inherently biodegradable (OECD guidelines) and compostable products with many applications including corrosion inhibition and rust prevention for coatings; moisture barrier in food packaging products & as viscosity, flow, bond strength and flexibility modification of hot melt adhesives.
