F-T Cut Wax is a flake or pellet product obtained from Fischer-Tropsch wax (F-T wax) through melting, precision slitting, or pelletizing—low dust, easy to disperse, and convenient for metering and addition. This article details the meaning of the 45#/60#/70#/80#/95#/105# grades, typical applications, and paraffin wax substitution approaches.
The grade designation is a conventional naming practice in the industry based on melting point ranges; the number approximates the product's melting point range (°C), and a higher number indicates a higher melting point. The table below shows typical correspondences (subject to the actual COA):
| Grade | Melting Point Range (Typical Approx., °C) | Heyee Corresponding Product Series | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45# | Approx. 45–55 | Low-melting cut wax (candle/polishing grade) | Candles, polishing, finishing |
| 60# | Approx. 60–70 | Low-melting cut wax | Ceramic bonding, paraffin substitution, rubber protection |
| 70# | Approx. 70–80 | HY-70 low-melting series | PVC lubrication, masterbatch, inks |
| 80# | Approx. 80–90 | Mid-melting cut wax | Hot-melt adhesive, inks, PVC stabilizers |
| 95# | Approx. 95–100 | High-melting cut wax | Plastic processing, masterbatch |
| 105# | Approx. 105–110 | HY-C105 / High-melting cut wax | High-grade masterbatch, powder coatings |
F-T Cut Wax is a flake or pellet product obtained from Fischer-Tropsch wax (F-T wax) through melting followed by precision slitting or pelletizing. Compared with powdered wax, it has lower dust and is easier to disperse and meter into PVC and masterbatch, making it one of the most heavily used forms industrially.
This is a conventional naming practice based on melting point ranges; the number approximates the product's melting point range (°C), and a higher number indicates a higher melting point. The specific melting point is a typical approximation, subject to the COA, and finer sub-grades can be customized per formulation.
In applications such as candles, finishing, rubber protection, and ceramic bonding, F-T Cut Wax can serve as a substitute or upgrade for paraffin wax, offering more controllable melting point and hardness and better thermal stability. Before substitution, compatibility and performance testing are recommended; Heyee can provide grade-based substitution advice and samples.
The forms and uses differ: cut wax is flake or pellet shaped, convenient for metering and mixing; micronized wax is a fine powder, mainly used for coating surface scratch resistance and feel. Heyee models such as HY-1000 can supply micronized-grade products.
Supplied based on the coal-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process of joint-venture partners such as Ningmei (National Energy Ningxia Coal Industry), Future Energy, and Lu'an. It is a domestically produced coal-based synthetic wax that can benchmark imported Fischer-Tropsch wax while ensuring stable supply and customization.
