Micro G-75 Soft

Micro G-75 Soft, a brown microcrystalline wax with a high melting point, stands out for its high flexibility and adhesion. These characteristics make it popular in various technical, industrial and chemical applications. 

Properties of Micro G-75 Soft

Micro G-75 Soft is a microcrystalline wax that is obtained as a petroleum derivative and undergoes filtration and refining processes. Its main characteristics include the following:

High melting point

In the range of 72 to 78 °C,  this high melting point allows the wax to maintain its integrity at high temperatures, making it ideal for applications involving heat exposure.

Flexibility

Despite its high melting point, Micro G-75 Soft retains remarkable malleability. This makes it particularly suitable when elasticity is required, which distinguishes it from stiffer waxes such as refined and semi-refined paraffins. 

Adhesion

This characteristic makes it an effective material in applications where the ability to bond to surfaces and materials is essential, for example, in the manufacture of industrial seals and gaskets.

Micro G-75 Applications

Technical uses

Its high flexibility and adhesion make it valuable in construction and engineering, where sealability is critical. In this regard, it is applied in compounds used in pipes and fittings to ensure an effective and durable seal.

It is also used in the creation of thermal insulation materials that must withstand high temperatures while maintaining their malleability and elasticity.

Industrial uses

In tire manufacturing, this type of wax is used in the formulation of tread compounds, as it improves the grip and durability of tires.

Chemical uses

It is used to produce heat and moisture resistant coatings. It is also a key component in the formulation of special high-temperature resistant adhesives.
