Microcrystalline
Waxes

Multiwax™ microcrystalline wax products are the purest in the market. These products consist of odorless, tasteless and nonpolar hydrocarbons with relatively high melting points. They vary in physical properties such as hardness and melting point. Multiwax products are severely hydrotreated providing consistent performance year over year so customer’s finished product will be consistent year after year. The performance you saw last year and see this year will be the same performance you will see next year.

Multiwax microcrystalline waxes play a critical role in a wide variety of applications. They serve as excellent bases in lipstick, cold creams and ointments. Multiwax microcrystalline wax products also lubricate, carry pigments and medication, seal and protect against moisture.

Multiwax microcrystalline waxes are U.S. FDA compliant and play an important role in food packaging products that protect food, such as wax-impregnated paper, film, foil and corrugated board. This is why leading hot melt adhesive manufacturers choose Sonneborn products to help their hot melt adhesives flow readily and form flexible bonds.
