Microsere™ Microcrystalline Waxes

Microsere™ microcrystalline waxes are tougher, more flexible and tend to have 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:

  • Packaging
  • Adhesives
  • Candles
  • Plastics
  • Cosmetics
  • Inks

Microsere™ microcrystalline waxes come in a range of melting points, hardness and colours supplied in granules, pellets, slab or bulk liquid.  Conformance to FDA requirements as outlined in 21 CFR 172.886 & 178.3710.

IGI Wax offer custom blends alongside the popular products detailed below.
