Sasol’s Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes have been successfully established in metallocene polyolefin copolymer and EVA-based hot melt adhesive formulations. Their crystallinity makes them the perfect choice to control open and set times. Sasol’s Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes enable the formulator to adjust the viscosity and optimize their rheological behavior of the adhesive formulation. The excellent thermal stability avoiding degradation and high temperature resistance make them suitable for many demanding applications. They can also provide the right balance between cohesive and bond strength on one side and flexibility and elongation on the other side.

 

Sasol waxes deliver a wide range of benefits for different applications, including:

  • Smoother, thinner adhesive application, resulting in more box closures with less adhesives.
  • Higher-speed packaging lines due to fast set times.
  • Improved durability and stability
  • Outstanding thermal stability reduces charring

With SASOLWAX, packaging manufacturers can increase both quality and output while using fewer raw materials – boosting their operational efficiency and reducing costs.
