microcrystalline wax (paraffin (wax), mineral wax, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Wax having a fine crystalline structure, comprising the remaining fraction of paraffin wax after the lower molecular weight waxes are removed; it has a higher melting point and viscosity than paraffin, is chemically inert, and a stronger adhesive than paraffin. It can be softened by adding mineral oil or petroleum jelly. Microcrystalline wax does not emulsify easily but can be modified with a catalyst to produce an oxidized, emulsifiable form that is used in hard, self-polishing floor wax. Microcrystalline wax is also used in laminating paper and foils, polishes, waxed paper, adhesives, coatings, linings, and sealants. Microcrystalline waxes were first made in the late 1930s by Baker Petrolite in Barnsdall, Oklahoma.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 具精細結晶構造的蠟，是石蠟在移除分子量較低的蠟之後所殘留的部分，熔點與黏度比石蠟高、化學活性低，是比石蠟還強的黏著劑，可藉由添加礦物油或石油膠（凡士林）來軟化。微晶蠟不易乳化，但可用催化劑調合，以製成可乳化的氧化形式，即可用於硬質自拋光地板蠟之中。微晶蠟也用於製作護貝膠膜和金屬箔片、擦亮劑、蠟紙、黏著劑、塗料、內襯以及密封劑；最早是在1930年代晚期，由美國奧克拉荷馬州邦斯戴爾市的貝克石油製品公司（Baker Petrolite）所研製。 |
