Microcrystalline wax is a refined blend of strong, immersed
hydrocarbons, principally spread paraffin, acquired from petroleum.
Microcrystalline Wax is a kind of wax that is created by de-oiling
petroleum. It is utilized as a viscosity agent, binder and emollient in
cosmetics and beauty products, and is frequently viewed as a contrasting
option to paraffin wax. Microcrystalline Wax has fine crystals as
compared to paraffin wax. Microcrystalline Wax, for the most part, is
darker, more viscous, denser, tackier and more flexible than paraffin
waxes. It has elastic and adhesive attributes, due to its non-straight
chain components. Microcrystalline Wax crystal structure is small and
thin, hence making these waxes more adaptable. The fine crystal
structure additionally empowers microcrystalline wax to bind solvents or
oil.
