Waxes for Adhesive Manufacturing
IGI manufactures petroleum and non-petroleum waxes for hot melt adhesives. Our waxes go beyond optimizing viscosity, flow, and “set time” properties for hot melt products. They also impact bond strength, thermal stability, and crystallization rates in adhesives.
Waxes play a crucial role in various adhesive applications, particularly hot-melt adhesive products. Wax can enhance bond strength and temperature resistance. IGI provides a comprehensive selection of wax materials for adhesive manufacturers, including paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, and tailored options for specific machine applications. Our waxes assist customers in adjusting properties like viscosity, set times, and the ultimate thermal stability of the bond.
