Micro crystalline wax is a type of wax derived from the refining process of crude oil. It is composed of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, with a higher percentage of branched and cyclic molecules than straight-chain molecules. Microcrystalline wax is characterized by its small crystal size, which gives it a smooth texture and makes it less brittle than other types of waxes. It is commonly used in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, as a lubricant, emulsifier, and water-resistant coating.
