Manufacturing and Quality Aspects of Producing Hard Waxes from Natural Gas and the Resulting HMA Performance Obtained When Using Such A Wax, 1994 Hot Melt Symposium Proceedings

P. Naidoo, M. D. Waston

Paraffin waxes, microcystalline waxes, and synthetic waxes (polyethylene and Fischer-Tropsch) have long been used in hot melt adhesives for modification of physical properties and control of application parameters, and each has its own limitations. Manufacturing and quality aspects of hard waxes procured form natural gas using the novel Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis Technology will be discussed, and the resulting HMA performance will be demonstrated using standard test methodology known in the industry. The results will compare the use of hard waxes produced from natural gas to other typical waxes in the formulation of HMA.
