Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes - synthesized for personal care.

Like most waxes, Fischer-Tropsch waxes are multi-component blends. However, almost no iso- or cyclo-paraffins are formed during the synthesis, which is why the products consist predominantly of saturated n-alkanes.

The chemical structure is the crucial factor in determining product characteristics, which are manifested in the features of hardness and crystallinity, and in some cases great brittleness and very limited flexibility. Together with the very high congealing point, the high degree of crystallinity and hardness are the important factors in determining the applications for hard waxes.
