    Sasolwax Fischer-Tropsch Waxes

    Sasolwax
    An introduction to Sasolwax Fischer-Tropsch Waxes Sasol Wax produce superlative, high quality competitive wax products targeted at the needs of a variety of industries and application areas. Sasolwax is the trade name for the unique range of waxes produced by Sasol Waxs FischerTropsch process. Sasolwax is synthetically produced in a controlled manner from carbon monoxide and hydrogen as feed. This results in its consistently high quality. Sasolwax consists mainly of saturated, straight chain hydrocarbons with almost no branches. This linear structure of Sasolwax is responsible for the many desirable properties of Sasolwax. The combination of a high melting point, low viscosity and excellent hardness, even at elevated temperatures, provides superior performance in a variety of applications. The waxes are inherently stable and may be exposed to heat for long periods with little deterioration in their properties. State of the art fractionation, micronisation and modification render a wide range of waxes with different physical and chemical characteristics. Chemical modification yields products with unique characteristics. At the forefront of wax technology, dedicated wax research teams have developed a number of grades of Sasolwax to meet the specific needs of customers. Various grades comply to the USA Food and Drug Administration for contact with foodstuffs. These wax grades also comply with the relevant BGA regulations. Some of the applications include the following: Hot Melt Adhesives Printing inks, paints and varnishes Polishes Textiles Lubricants for the processing of plastics Electrical insulating Paper conversion Sasol Wax, with its reputation for reliability, is an accredited ISO 9001 supplier. Hot Melt Adhesives Waxes play an important role in the manufacture, processing and performance of Hot Melt Adhesives. Sasolwax Fischer-Tropsch waxes have made them the waxes of choice by many HMA producers worldwide. The high crystallinity and low viscosity of these waxes render them the perfect choice to lower the viscosity, control the open and set times as well as the flexibility and elongation properties of the adhesive. Inks & Coatings Waxes are used as additives in printing inks primarily to improve the resistance of the ink film to rubbing and scuffing and to serve as a slip aid. Sasolwax waxes are an attractive alternative to polyethylene waxes in solvent and water based printing inks. Textiles Using improved manufacturing technology, Sasol Wax has upgraded its range of oxidised Sasolwax FischerTropsch waxes. These grades have been specifically developed to enhance processability, from easier emulsification and application through to final fabric performance in areas such as sewability, knittability, flex abrasion resistance and tear strength. Polymer Processing Sasolwax waxes may be used as a competitive alternative to Polyethylene waxes in uPVC pipe and profile extrusion. Polishes Sasolwax waxes exhibits improved lubrication properties that is observed in increased fusion times, reduced fusion torque and increased stability times. These waxes are also extensively used in injection moulding, rubber extrusion and expanded polystyrene. Polish producers use waxes to fulfil the basic function of polishes, i.e. protection, beautification and cleaning. Sasolwax waxes find application in a range of polishes that include the traditional solvent and emulsion pastes and liquid emulsion polishes.
