Fully Hydrogenated Hard Wax Available for Hot Melt Adhesives
A new Fischer-Tropsch hard wax from Sasol is available as coarse powder or pastilles. The wax has high melting point, low viscosity, excellent hardness and good heat stability according to the company. It is composed of hydrocarbon chains that are predominantly linear.
Additionally, the linear molecule structure of Sasolwax H1 gives a hot melt adhesive the unique characteristics of low viscosity combined with high crystallinity, which ensures ideal performance properties in hot melt adhesives, according to Sasol Chemicals.
Being highly compatible with typically used resins, EVA and metallocene polyolefin copolymers, Sasolwax H1 is ideally suited to the requirements of modern hot melt adhesives, particularly in packaging applications.
Sasolwax H1 complies with European specifications for food additives according to E905, FDA CFR 21, Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 (Ref. 95859) and BfR (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) XXV.
