Rubber & Plastics
Bio Green Wax supplies a comprehensive range of industrial waxes optimised for the rubber compounding and plastics processing industries. Our products serve as essential processing aids, lubricants, release agents, and performance additives that improve manufacturing efficiency and end-product quality.
Our rubber and plastics portfolio includes Fully Refined Paraffin Wax, Semi Refined Paraffin Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax), Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Wax, Palm Stearic Acid, and PFAD. Each product is selected for its specific functional properties in demanding industrial applications.
In rubber manufacturing, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes provide critical antiozonant protection, preventing surface cracking and degradation in tyres and rubber goods. Stearic Acid acts as an essential activator and processing aid in rubber vulcanisation. PE Wax and FT Wax serve as effective external lubricants and dispersing agents for carbon black and filler incorporation.
For plastics processing, our waxes function as internal and external lubricants in PVC extrusion, injection moulding, and calendering operations. PE Wax improves melt flow, reduces die build-up, and enhances surface finish. FT Wax provides excellent colour dispersion in masterbatch production. Microcrystalline Wax improves impact resistance and flexibility in plastic compounds.
All our industrial waxes meet stringent quality specifications with consistent melting points, congealing points, oil content, and penetration values. We supply in bulk, bags, cartons, and drums with full technical documentation. Our experienced team understands the critical nature of wax performance in rubber and plastics manufacturing and can recommend the optimal grades for your specific processing conditions and end-product requirements.
Products for Rubber & Plastics
Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C)
Fully refined paraffin wax (CAS 8002-74-2) is petroleum wax hydrotreated to below 0.5 percent oil content. Supplied in melting grades from 50 to 68 degrees Celsius, it is odourless, white and approved for food contact.
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C)
Semi refined paraffin wax carries 0.5 to 1.5 percent residual oil against the fully refined grade's 0.5 percent maximum. That extra oil lowers the cost and improves mould release, at the price of a faint odour and slight colour.
Microcrystalline Wax
Microcrystalline wax (CAS 63231-60-7) is petroleum wax made of branched and cyclic hydrocarbons rather than straight chains. The irregular molecules cannot pack neatly, so it forms tiny crystals and is flexible and tacky where paraffin is brittle.
Polyethylene Wax (PE wax)
Polyethylene wax (CAS 9002-88-4) is low molecular weight polyethylene melting between about 100 and 130 degrees Celsius. Added at one to three percent it hardens a candle, raises gloss and helps hold fragrance and colour in place.
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax
Fischer‑Tropsch (FT) wax is a high‑purity synthetic paraffin wax produced from syngas, offering high melting point, low viscosity, and excellent hardness for demanding applications in plastics, coatings, inks, adhesives, and bitumen modification
Palm Stearic Acid
Palm Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid (C₁₈H₃₆O₂) derived from palm oil through hydrolysis and fractionation. It appears as a white, waxy solid with a mild odor and is one of the most common fatty acids used in industrial and consumer products.
PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate)
PFAD is the condensate collected under vacuum when palm oil is deodorised during refining. At 85 to 95 percent free fatty acids it is a cheap feedstock for soap, candles and fatty acid recovery, and a source of natural vitamin E.
