Microcrystalline wax can also be used as a modifier for paraffin wax. By adding
microcrystalline wax to paraffin wax, the plasticity of paraffin
wax can be improved, thus making it more suitable for applications
such as making waterproof and moisture-proof paper.
The molecular distillation process for microcrystalline wax
production involves the following steps in the given order:
1. Petroleum wax residue is used as raw material. The raw material
is fed into the system.
2. The material is melted to obtain liquid wax. The liquid wax is
subjected to molecular distillation. The resulting fractions are
separated and purified.
3. The resulting purified microcrystalline wax is collected for
further use.
