Akrowax™ 130 is a fully refined paraffin wax derived from petroleum. It is a hard, white crystalline material. The high degree of purity and low odor makes this wax suitable for many applications, including food packaging. Resistance to most acids and alkalis is very good. Oxidation can occur, particularly under prolonged storage at high temperatures. This wax does contain an oxidation inhibitor. Akrowax™ 130 is used in rubber to give ozone resistance. It inhibits cracking and frosting in NR, SBR, CR and NBR, primarily at the lower temperatures (0°C to 20°C) that ozone attack may occur. Good low cost process aid for EPDM where low polarity prevents bloom.
