What is the difference between Fischer-Tropsch wax and paraffin wax?

1. Molecular weight is different.

The relative molecular mass of Fischer-Tropsch wax is much smaller than that of general paraffin wax, with fewer carbon bonds and high grain size; it is very easy to penetrate into the high-viscosity biological macromolecular chain, which can significantly reduce the melting viscosity; the migration in the production process is small, and the actual effect of wetting in the middle and late stages is remarkable.

General paraffin wax is a compound of solid high-grade alkanes, the key component is the mesh disc straight chain alkanes, there are also small amounts of alkanes with certain carbon bonds and single cyclic alkanes with long main chains.

2, the chemical structure is different.

Fischer-Tropsch wax is a mesh disc straight-chain alkane, no double construction, good oxidation resistance, good aging resistance of commodities;

Paraffin wax generally has a small amount of alkanes with certain carbon bonds and monocyclonalkanes with long backbones, and the antioxidant capacity is relatively poor.

3, the viscosity is different.

The viscosity of Fischer-Tropsch wax is generally around 10, and adding a small amount can achieve the actual effect of moisturizing;

Generally, the viscosity of paraffin wax is in the middle of 20-60, and the actual effect of moisturizing is weak.

General paraffin wax scope of application

Because of the large oil content of coarse paraffin wax, it is used in the production of matchsticks, plywood, canopy white canvas and so on. After the addition of isoprene rubber additives to paraffin wax, its melting point is improved, adhesion and flexibility are improved, and it is commonly used in waterproof and waterproof bags, cardboard, surface plating of some textile products and candle production.

After the printing paper penetrates into the paraffin wax, it can be made into a variety of wrapping paper with excellent waterproof characteristics, which can be used for food, drugs and other packaging, metal material anti-rust treatment and printing industry; paraffin wax after adding pure cotton yarn, can make textile products soft, smooth and ductile; paraffin wax can also produce detergents, demulsifiers, thickeners, tacks, lubricating oils and greases.

The main use of fully refined paraffin wax and semi-refined paraffin wax is very wide, the key is used as food, oral medicine and some products (such as wrapping paper, watercolor pigments, candles, copy paper) components and packaging products, baking utensils coated with medical dressings, used for food preservation, electrical components insulation, improve vulcanized rubber aging resistance and improve flexibility. It can also be used for air oxidation conversion to produce oleic acid.

Fischer-Tropsch waxes are used in the electronics industry

Fischer-Tropsch waxes can be used in plastic granulation, such as injection molding, extrusion and its granulation. In the production of plastic masterbatches and modified polymers, Fischer-Tropsch waxes facilitate the dispersion and excellent smoothness of fillers in the event of mismatches.

Can be used as an external lubricant of PVC, low viscosity can improve the production and manufacturing rate of commodities, in the wrong material is conducive to the dispersion of pigment fillers, especially in the extrusion of high viscosity management system has a good choice, than the general PE wax dosage of 40--50%, and can significantly improve the gloss of the product surface. When applying a strong color, the molten Fischer-Tropsch wax rationally wets the dye and reduces the extrusion viscosity.
