High flexibility and ductility
High melting point (with a broad range, typically between 60–95°C)
Strong adhesion
Increased hardness while preventing brittleness
Better opacity (enhances wax opacity)
Improved oil-binding capacity, reducing the seeping of essential oils/fragrances
Role of Microcrystalline Wax in Container Candle Making:
Increases hardness and enhances structure
Improves surface smoothness and prevents frosting
Enhances thermal properties (melting and softening points)
Boosts fragrance throw
Improves adhesion and prevents shrinkage
