Strahl & Pitsch offers a full range of the finest Paraffin and Microcrystalline Waxes from domestic and international sources.
Paraffin Waxes come from the dewaxing of paraffin distillates; Microcrystalline Waxes are derived from residium.
Paraffin Waxes have relatively large brittle crystals (Macrocrystalline) and generally have little affinity for oil.
Microcrystalline Waxes have very minute crystals (Micro Crystals) and are flexible, with a greater affinity for oil, which is held tightly in the crystal lattice and does not migrate to the surface.

Strahl & Pitsch maintains sizable inventories of both of these multi-purpose waxes, providing a consistent supply of known quality waxes in what is otherwise a fluctuating world market.

Forms available: Both specialty waxes are available in slabs or pastilles.
Typical applications for both waxes include: Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Coatings, Hot-Melt Adhesives, Polishes, Candles.
Compatibility: Paraffin and Microcrystalline Waxes are compatible with most animal, vegetable and mineral waxes and a large variety of natural and synthetic resins.

Both Paraffin and Microscrystalline Waxes are approved for end use under regulations 21CFR 178.3710, 172.615, 172.886 and 175.105 are CTFA listed.
