Snow White Microwax
Whatsapp Order
Snow White Microwax is a refined, high-purity microcrystalline wax with a bright white color and fine crystalline structure. It is derived from petroleum and modified to enhance flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance. This wax is widely used in industries requiring a blend of hardness and elasticity, along with excellent binding and coating properties. Its low odor and neutral pH make it suitable for sensitive applications, including cosmetics and food packaging.
