Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Waxes are pure hydrocarbon waxes ranging from medium to very hard waxes. The FT hard waxes with high molecular weights have high melting points, superior hardness and low viscosities. FT waxes are synthetically produced from carbon monoxide and hydrogen by using the Fischer-Tropsch gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. The resulting waxes are straight chain hydrocarbons of consistent quality and purity with unique and desirable properties. These waxes can be modified further to produce a wide range of physical and chemical characteristics suited to a range of applications. Cerax offers a range of high-melt point FT waxes, used as performance additives and also medium melt point derivatives, which can replicate typical paraffin wax characteristics.
