The company specializes in formulating, blending, and packaging refined paraffin wax based products. Standard product forms included liquid, slab, beads, and pastilles. The company has been in business for many years serving the candle, PVC, adhesives, coatings, and many other industries both directly and through private label products. The combined capacity for finished products is about 280 million pounds per year. Petroleum Wax Petroleum waxes are mixtures of various hydrocarbons that are extracted from crude petroleum. The carbon and hydrogen atoms can be combined in many different ways from simple straight-chain molecules to complicated branched chain or cyclic structures. Petroleum wax properties are determined by the type and amount of hydrocarbons it contains. New and improved refinery processes allow refiners to selectively separate the hydrocarbons. In this way, the composition and properties of a wax can be controlled to produce the performance characteristics needed for specific applications. Petroleum waxes are thermoplastic materials. On heating to their melting point, they liquefy. On cooling, they return to their solid ture range. Paraffin waxes come in two primary grades of quality: fully refined and semi-refined. The grades differ in the amount of oil that has been removed during the refining process, and the color. The fully refined paraffins that Luxco provides are white odorless materials with low oil content typically less than 0.5%. With the range of melting points available (120 of to 160 of ) plus high purity, good gloss, resistance to blocking, ease of application and barrier properties, paraffin waxes are ideal for food packaging. Paraffin waxes are among the best materials available for provid- ing good barrier resistance against moisture and gases. Microcrystalline Waxes Microcrystalline waxes are complex mixtures of monocyclic and polycyclic hydrocarbons along with lesser amounts of branched chains and iso-paraffins. They typically contain only minor amounts of normal paraffins. The crystals of microcrystalline waxes are much smaller than nor- mal paraffins. They have higher melting points in the range of 170 of to 180 of. Because they contain a variety of molecules, the micro waxes typically melt over a broad range rather than sharply like paraffins. They are relatively soft, flexible, plastic waxes having adhesive properties far better than paraffin waxes. They typically have much higher oil content and yellow or brown color. state without any change in the basic chemical composition. Wax Properties Of the four major classes of petroleum waxes, paraffin, microcrystalline, intermediate and petrolatum, Luxco Wax produces high quality products based on the fully refined paraffin, intermediate and microcrystalline forms. The properties of any petroleum wax depend upon the properties of its various hydrocarbon components and the degree of refining. Since petroleum waxes are mixtures of hydrocarbons, the overall wax properties are largely determined by the refining process. Some important qualities of petroleum waxes are summarized below. Paraffin Wax Paraffin waxes are mainly straight-chain hydrocarbons with few isoparaffin or branched chain molecules, and little or no cyclic structures. Their crystals are large and plate-like. Because they are mostly straight-chain molecules, refined paraffins have narrow melting point ranges, melting sharply over a few degree tempera- Melting Point Petroleum waxes are thermoplastic. When heated sufficiently, they liquefy. On cooling they revert back to a solid. The melting point is the temperature at which the change occurs. Paraffin waxes have sharp melting points, melting completely over a few degrees. Microcrystalline waxes have much broader melting point ranges, typically in the 10-20 degree temperature range. Hardness Narrow cut paraffin waxes containing mainly straight-chain molecules will generally have maximum hardness and resistance to scuffing. Those with branched-chain and cyclic molecules will be more flexible, softer and scuff more. Flexibility is desired in coatings and laminations for protective packaging to prevent cracking along crease lines. Flexibility and hardness are contrasting properties. As one increases, the other usually decreases. The ASTM needle penetration test is used as a guide to wax hardness. This test determines the penetration into the wax of a needle or cone under prescribed conditions. The test measures the distance in tenths of millimeters that a weighted needle or cone penetrates below the surface in five seconds at the stated test temperature. Higher penetrations indicate a softer wax. Oil Content All petroleum waxes contain at least traces of oil. One of the major refining steps is to reduce the oil content of a wax to levels that yield the desired properties or performance. In paraffin waxes, oil detracts from gloss, hardness, scuff resistance, tensile strength and odor. For coating and packaging applications, paraffin waxes are refined to very low oil contents. In some cases, a small amount of oil can actually be beneficial. Some candle waxes have better burning properties when some oil is present. Some oil can also improve the adhesion and flexibility of laminating micro waxes. Viscosity Kinematic viscosity is the measure of a wax’s resistance to flow when molten. Paraffin waxes, when liquid, have a viscosity similar to a light mineral oil. Micro waxes are more viscous, but still flow like a mineral oil. As various polymers and additives are added to petroleum wax the viscosity can increase significantly. Successful use of a wax material requires equipment that is compatible with the viscosity properties of the blend. Viscosity of very fluid waxes is measured in Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS) and more viscous waxes in centistokes (cSt). Color The color of a wax is determined on molten wax. The Saybolt color scale is used for the lightly colored waxes like the refined paraffins. The scale range is from +30 to –16. The larger the number, the lighter the color. A wax with a Saybolt color of +30 is colorless. Flash Point The flash point is the lowest temperature at which molten wax forms enough vapor to be ignited by a flame or spark source under controlled laboratory conditions. FDA Approval Luxco waxes are FDA approved for use as direct food additives or for indirect food contact. The FDA regulations that are met are 21CFR172.886 and 21CFR178.3710.

Their crystals are large and plate-like. Because they are mostly straight-chain molecules, refined paraffins have narrow melting point ranges, melting sharply over a few degree temperature range. Paraffin waxes come in two primary grades of quality: fully refined and semi-refined. The grades differ in the amount of oil that has been removed during the refining process, and the color. The unprotected elastomers will absorb ozone at the surface, forming ozonides at the site of double bonds. While further absorption is restricted by these compounds, it is continuous under tension. Surface cracks are formed and grow at a constant rate when strain exceeds a critical value. The rate of growth is proportional to the ozone concentration. The fully refined paraffins that Luxco provides are white, odorless materials with low oil content typically less than 0.5%. With the range of melting points available (127ºF to 160ºF) plus high purity, good gloss and barrier properties, paraffin waxes are ideal for use as antioxidants. Paraffin waxes are among the best materials available for providing good barrier resistance against moisture and gases. Ozone is universally recognized as a major contributor to the degradation of rubber products, even though it is present in the atmosphere at very low concentrations. The ozone level at the earth’s surface is approximately 10 pphm (10X10-8). Although it took many years to isolate the mechanism of the attack, it was generally known that the addition of petroleum waxes could reduce or minimize the effects. Waxes added to the rubber act by migrating to the surface (blooming). There they form a thin, inert film that acts as a barrier to the ozone. The thin film is non-crystalline and reasonably flexible. The composition of the wax combined with the temperature, which is a critical factor, will determine the overall effectiveness of the wax to provide ozone protection. Petroleum Waxes Petroleum waxes are mixtures of various hydrocarbons that are extracted from crude petroleum. The carbon and hydrogen atoms can be combined in many different ways from simple straight-chain molecules to complicated branched chain or cyclic structures. Petroleum wax properties are determined by the type and amount of hydrocarbons it contains. New and improved refinery processes allow refiners to selectively separate the hydrocarbons. In this way, the composition and properties of a wax can be controlled to produce the performance characteristics needed for specific applications. Petroleum waxes are thermoplastic materials. On heating to their melting point, they liquefy. On cooling, they return to their solid state without any change in the basic chemical composition. Of the four major classes of petroleum waxes, paraffin, microcrystalline, intermediate and petrolatum, Luxco Wax produces high quality products based on the fully refine paraffin, intermediate and microcrystalline forms. Paraffin Waxes Paraffin waxes are mainly straight-chain hydrocarbons with few Intermediate Waxes Intermediate waxes basically resemble paraffin wax but have enough branched chains to alter their properties considerably from true paraffins. They are softer and somewhat more flexible than true paraffins. Microcrystalline Waxes Microcrystalline waxes are complex mixtures of monocyclic and polycyclic hydrocarbons along with lesser amounts of branched chains and isoparaffins. They typically contain only minor amounts of normal paraffins. The crystals of microcrystalline waxes are much smaller than normal paraffins. They have higher melting points in the range of 170ºF to 180ºF. Because they contain a variety of molecules, the microwaxes typically melt over a broad range rather than sharply like paraffins. They are relatively soft, flexible, plastic waxes. They typically have a much higher oil content and yellow or brown color. Mechanism of Wax Migration At the temperatures used for curing most products, petroleum waxes will dissolve completely in the rubber. As the rubber cools, a super saturated solution of wax in rubber develops. The concentration gradient between the interior and the surface of the compound causes a continuous migration of wax to the external surface until equilibrium is achieved. At equilibrium, a thin film of wax will have formed on the surface and will act as a physical barrier against ozone degradation. Mobility of the wax within the rubber is largely dependent on the molecular weight of the wax and the complexity of the carbon chain. Low molecular weight (low carbon number) straight chain waxes with little branching will migrate the easiest. As molecular weight and the complexity of the carbon chain increase, the migration rate slows down. The complex microcrystalline waxes are the slowest. The more crystalline the film formed at the surface, the greater the gas permeability of the wax layer. Thus, a strictly paraffinic wax that is highly crystalline will still allow ozone to attack the rubber surface. By introducing branched chain hydrocarbons, the crystalline film can be converted to an amorphous film, maximizing the resistance to ozone penetration. The amorphous state can be achieved by adding lightly branched intermediate waxes, or even microcrystalline waxes. However, microcrystalline waxes migrate so slowly that their value as an ozone protector is limited. The most cost effective waxes are blends of paraffin waxes with lightly branched intermediate waxes. They offer the greatest protection against gas permeability while maintaining the most acceptable migration properties. temperature, the composition of the surface wax film will vary. At low temperatures near freezing, only waxes with a low carbon number will migrate to the surface. Conversely, at temperatures over 100ºF, these same low molecular weight waxes will be almost completely soluble in the rubber compound. It has been demonstrated that, as the temperature increases, so does the carbon number of the predominant surface wax. Also, as temperature cycling occurs, some waxes are reabsorbed into the compound to re-bloom to the surface again when the temperature drops. Formulating An Antioxidant Wax The relationship between temperature and migration rate is very important when developing a wax for use in rubber. For any given wax, it is possible to add it to a rubber compound and then determine the sensitivity to ozone attack at various temperatures. The figure below shows a typical sensitivity plot for a common narrow cut paraffin wax. Effect of Temperature The amount of wax bloom achieved is dependent on a number of factors, the most important being temperature and wax composition. Three factors are involved in the amount of protection a specific wax formulation will give to a rubber compound. At different temperatures, different factors will control performance. The rate of ozone attack on double bonds increases as the temperature increases up to about 130ºF. Above this temperature ozone does not exist, decomposing to oxygen. Below about 23ºF, ozone does not possess enough energy to attack the rubber compound double bonds. Each component in a wax migrates at its own particular rate. The rate is governed by the complexity, molecular weight and degree of chain branching. As the temperature rises, the rate of migration also rises. For wax to protect rubber, it must be present at the surface. Hence it must be insoluble in the rubber at that point in time. As temperature increases, so will a wax’s solubility in the rubber. At any given temperature, the simpler the hydrocarbon, the greater the linearity and the shorter the chain length, the greater will be the solubility in the rubber compound. By considering these factors, it can be seen that, depending on the From the plot, it is seen that there is a temperature range where the compound is least sensitive to attack. At higher temperatures, increased ozone activity and increased wax solubility combine to create greater sensitivity to attack. At lower temperatures, poorer migration and greater crystallinity of the surface film result in increased ozone attack. The higher sensitivity problem areas can be compensated for by blending several waxes over a broad range from lower melt straight chain paraffins up to and including higher melt microcrystalline waxes. Theoretically, the sensitivity graph of the ideal material will approach a straight line. Summary Wax performance is controlled primarily by two factors; carbon number of the components and ratio of straight chain to branched chain hydrocarbons. By controlling these two parameters, an effective formulation can be achieved.

The higher melting point waxes exhibit good gloss, resistance to blocking and barrier protection against moisture and gas. Measurement of the hardness of the wax. The lower the number, the harder the wax. Hot melt waxes usually exhibit a penetration of less than 10. Hot melt waxes are blends of paraffin wax with polymers or other additives that enhance the inherent protective properties of the paraffin. Hot melt blends offer higher gloss, hardness, scuff resistance and barrier protection while also increasing film toughness, flexibility and adhesion. Application Hot melt waxes are typically classified into two major end use applications. Curtain coating wax is applied to corrugated board by passing the board under a thin water-fall like “curtain” of the hot melt. Some of the uses for board treated in this manner include boxes for shipping fresh produce, seafood, poultry and meat. Folding cartons are also coated with hot melt waxes. The wax is applied to the carton stock after printing, usually by a roll coating process. End uses for this type of stock is in frozen and refrigerated food boxes and containers. Production Due to their higher melting points and range of extremely high viscosities, production of hot melt waxes require more specialized equipment than normally used for processing paraffin waxes. Luxco Wax uses a reactor vessel with high shear mixer, like that shown in the photo. While hot melt products may be handled as liquids, they are more commonly sold in slab form. Luxco Wax also offers a pastille form which is a very uniform bead. It is produced on an Accudrop machine (as shown) and offers the advantage of a much faster melting rate than an eleven pound slab. Characteristics Hot melt waxes are distinguished by certain physical characteristics that set them apart from straight paraffin waxes. Some of the key characteristics are defined as follows: Viscosity: Measures the resistance to flow of a liquid material. Hot melt waxes typically have viscosities from about 300 centipoise at 250°F up to 600 centipoise or more, making them very viscous even at elevated temperatures. Blocking point: The temperature at which two surfaces tend to stick to each other inseparably.
