Microcrystalline wax is a kind of refined synthetic wax with similar microcrystalline properties. It has the characteristics of good luster, high melting point and light color. Its structure is compact, firm and smooth. It can be melted with various natural waxes and can improve its low The melting point of the wax, improving the properties of the coarse wax.
