Micro Wax 1080 is a premium-grade microcrystalline wax specially developed for rubber and tyre applications. It is manufactured from highly refined petroleum-based hydrocarbons and designed to provide superior ozone resistance, UV protection, flexibility, and surface protection in demanding environmental conditions.
This grade forms a thin protective wax film on rubber surfaces during service conditions, helping protect tyres and rubber compounds from cracking, aging, oxidation, and environmental degradation. Micro Wax 1080 is widely used in tyre manufacturing, rubber processing, industrial compounds, adhesives, coatings, and specialty formulations requiring excellent thermal stability and controlled migration properties.
