SYNTHETIC WAXES
Synthetic Waxes are the chemical products developed artificially by man, with the aim of complementing
the physical properties of vegetable, animal, mineral and petroleum waxes that exist normally in nature.
The market share of Synthetic waxes has experienced an accelerated growth from year to year.
There are various categories used to classify Synthetic Waxes, depending mainly on their basic
functional group:
 Common Synthetic Waxes: This include long chain ethylene polymers, halogenated
hydrocarbons,alkyl esters and polyhrdric alcohol(polyol) esters,hydrogenated waxesstraight
chain and cyclic ketones, amide derivatives of fatty acids, reaction production of hydrocarbons,
esters of fatty acids and derivatives of polyoxyethylene sorbitol among others.
 Fischer-Tropsch Waxes: These consists of hydrocarbons of very high molecular weight and
melting point, as well as great hardness. They are obtained as byproducts from a liquid fuel
synthesis(gasoline and diesel) from carbon monoxide(CO) and hydrogen(H) by the Fischer-
Tropsch reaction.
 Polyethylene Waxes: These are obtained from the heating and cracking of high quality
polyethylene resins and have a wide range of applications.
Synthetic Waxes are used in the production of polishes, crayons,adhesives, dyes,paints, hot melts,PVC
extrusion, foundry and textile among many other applications.
