Microcrystalline wax plays an important role in the plastics industry, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Plasticizer: Microcrystalline waxes are widely used as plasticizers in plastic processing. It can improve the ductility and flexibility of plastic products, improve the processing performance of plastics, and make plastics easier to form.

Lubricant: Microcrystalline wax has good lubrication properties, can be used as a lubricant in the plastic processing process, reduce the friction of plastics on the mold, improve production efficiency and product quality.

Heat stabilizer: Microcrystalline wax can also be used as a heat stabilizer for plastic products to help improve the heat resistance of plastic products and maintain stability in high temperature environments.

Brightener: Because the microcrystalline wax itself has a high transparency and gloss, it is often used as a brightener for plastic products, making the surface of plastic products more smooth and beautiful.

Looking ahead, with the emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, there is a growing demand for alternative traditional plastic materials. As a natural resource, microcrystalline wax has better environmental performance than some chemically synthesized plastic additives, and may be more widely used in the plastics industry. Future trends may include:

Biodegradable materials: Natural resources such as microcrystalline waxes may be used to produce biodegradable plastics in response to the environmental pollution problems caused by traditional plastics.
