Microcrystalline Wax WX-160S is a high-quality microcrystalline wax characterized by its higher melting point and viscosity compared to standard paraffin waxes. It is primarily composed of N-paraffinic hydrocarbons, along with smaller quantities of iso-paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic hydrocarbons, with carbon numbers ranging from 31 to 50. This wax is widely used in applications such as candle making, petroleum jelly, cable jelly, adhesives, and rubber processing.
NOKS Solutions Ltd supplies Microcrystalline Wax WX-160S to manufacturers, water utilities, processors and laboratories across Kenya and the wider East African region. It sits in our pharm and cosmetic range and is held ex-stock at our Nairobi warehouse on Enterprise Road, Industrial Area, so orders ship without waiting on an import cycle.
Typical applications include candle making, petroleum jelly production, cable jelly, adhesives and rubber and plastic processing aid. It is supplied as industrial grade for general process and manufacturing duty, ≥98%. If you are matching an existing specification, send it across and our applications chemists will confirm the grade before you order.
Microcrystalline Wax WX-160S is available in 25 kg PE bag, and we repack to suit your handling setup. Every delivery carries the manufacturer Certificate of Analysis for the batch supplied together with a full Safety Data Sheet, and lot numbers stay traceable to the manufacturing run.
Delivery covers Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu (Eldoret), Machakos, Trans Nzoia (Kitale), Kilifi and Kirinyaga and the rest of Kenya, with regular export shipments to Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and eastern DR Congo.
