Want to know more about our Montan wax for sale? Read on for all of the essential information that you need.
What is Montan wax?
So, first things first – what is Montan wax? This wax is derived from coal that is rich in bitumen, which you may know as lignite. In its crude form it is dark, hard, and very brittle.
The majority of the world’s Montan wax comes from Germany, where production was first established on a large, commercial scale. Some wax is produced elsewhere – California, for example, is the only source of montan wax in the USA. We source ours from Germany, meaning that it won’t have travelled from the other side of the world by the time it makes it to you. This lower carbon footprint has made it very attractive to our customers, and Montan wax has quickly become one of the most popular waxes that we sell.
What is it used for?
So, what is Montan wax used for? It is a highly versatile wax and is used in the manufacturing of a number of different materials and products – a major one of which is the manufacturing of plastics. It’s known as something called a ‘high-performance additive’ in the industry, and is very popular in the construction and engineering sectors, where it is often utilised as a lubricant that can help in complex technical tasks.
It can also be used as a coating and polishing wax in pharmaceutical products, as well as being used to add strength to lipsticks and to aid in the formulations of other cosmetics. Other applications can include leather care, polishes, dyes, moulding and release agents for ceramic and metal casting, impregnation agents cable insulating material and corrosion protection.
