Fischer Tropsch wax is a methylene polymer, which is an alkane polymer synthesized from hydrocarbon syngas or natural gas. It mainly relies on high quality and cheap raw materials of coal chemical industry for iron-based or cobalt-based synthesis, which has obvious advantages over crude oil wax price.
Oxidized FT wax, also known as oxidized Fischer-Tropsch wax, is a specialized type of wax that is produced through the oxidation of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax. FT wax is a synthetic wax derived from the conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases into long-chain hydrocarbons. The oxidation process introduces functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl, modifying the properties of the wax and expanding its range of applications. Oxidized FT wax offers unique characteristics that make it a valuable additive in various industries, including coatings, adhesives, and personal care products.
In the coatings industry, oxidized FT wax is used as a surface modifier and rheology modifier. It enhances the scratch resistance, anti-blocking properties, and overall durability of coatings and paints. The functional groups introduced during oxidation improve the wax's compatibility with different binders and pigments, resulting in improved dispersion and stability. This wax also acts as a rheology modifier, controlling the viscosity and flow behavior of the coating, leading to optimal application and film formation.
In the adhesives industry, oxidized FT wax acts as a tackifier and viscosity modifier. It improves the adhesion properties of adhesives and sealants, enhancing their bond strength and durability. The functional groups in the wax enhance compatibility with various adhesive systems, allowing for improved wetting and spreading on different substrates. Additionally, it acts as a viscosity modifier, controlling the rheological properties of the adhesive formulation, ensuring optimal application and performance.
