Food grade Microcrystalline Wax NO.80
Product Features
Food grade microcrystalline wax is derived from heavy fractions of petroleum or solvent deasphalting oil from vacuum residue, which is then refined, dewaxed, deoiled, and then refined by clay or hydrogenation. This product has a clean white color, good stability, low oil content, and certain toughness, meeting food hygiene requirements.
And Food grade Microcrystalline wax NO.80 refers to its drop melting point is 77℃ to 82℃. Due to the moderate melting point of No. 80, it is currently a popular product in the market. If you have purchasing needs, you can contact WJWAX, which is a professional manufacturer.
Product Application
Food grade microcrystalline wax is made from highly refined petroleum-based sources which go through a purification process to remove any impurities that could potentially harm human health. The wax is tasteless, odorless, and has a neutral color, making it an ideal choice for food coating and packaging applications.
One of the most common uses of food grade microcrystalline wax is as a coating for fresh fruits and vegetables. The wax coating helps to preserve the freshness and appearance of the produce, as it forms a barrier that prevents moisture and oxygen from getting in. It also helps to prevent bruising and damage during transportation, which can result in a longer shelf life for the produce.
Another important use of food grade microcrystalline wax is in the production of chewing gum. The wax serves as a base for the gum, helping to give it its chewiness and preventing it from sticking to the teeth. The wax is tasteless and odorless, ensuring that it does not affect the flavor of the gum.
Food grade microcrystalline wax is also used in the production of confectionery such as candy and chocolate. These products often require a smooth and shiny appearance, which can be achieved through the use of the wax. It is used as a glazing agent, giving the confectionery a glossy finish and helping to prevent it from melting or sticking together.
Apart from food, It is also used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, as a binding agent for tablets, ointments, and creams. In cosmetics, it is used as an emollient, improving the texture and softening properties of beauty products. Food grade micro wax is also used in personal care products such as lipsticks, due to its excellent film-forming properties, which help the product to adhere better to the skin.
In conclusion, food grade microcrystalline wax is an essential ingredient in the food industry, serving a variety of uses such as preserving the freshness of produce, giving confectionery products a smooth finish, and improving the texture of cosmetic products. Its neutral taste and odor make it a popular choice for use in the food industry, and it is considered safe for human consumption when used within the recommended levels.

FAQs
What are your main products?
Our main products are divided into three series: Refined paraffin wax, Microcrystalline wax, and Food grade white oil. But our biggest advantage lies in the research and development of food-grade and special waxes (Such as rubber protection wax, automobile chassis anti-rust wax, and poultry hair removal wax).
Are you a factory or trade company?
We are a factory since 2000, after more than 20 years of hard-working, we have developed into a globally integrated enterprise with the production, processing, and sales of wax products and white oil products.
