What is GEWAX 170LT wax used for?
GEWAX 170LT is a microcrystalline wax for formulation which is used to work on the cohesion and flexibility of mixtures. Used as a microcrystalline candle wax, it plays a role as a binder and structuring material in the preparation, depending on the desired balance.
It accompanies candle manufacturers and formulators who adjust the hold of their products. This material can also be studied for sealing waxes, paper or cardboard coatings, coated textiles and certain maintenance preparations, with validation specific to each project.
Its presentation in pellets makes it easier to weigh the quantities to be incorporated.

How to choose a wax for candles?
Choose according to end use
GEWAX 170LT is chosen when the formula needs to gain in cohesion, flexibility or binding power. It can be studied for a candle, a sealing wax, a coating or a maintenance product. First define the support and the desired effect, because each application requires its own dosage.
Choose according to the formula
Resins, pigments, oils and other materials can change the texture, adhesion and application of GEWAX 170LT. Test it in the complete recipe, then compare several dosages around the desired result.
Choose according to support
Test GEWAX 170LT in the complete formula and on the support actually used. Observe the ease of application, adhesion, flexibility and results after cooling. Compare several dosages without changing the other components in order to clearly identify the level suitable for the final product.
Choose according to production
The format pellets is weighed without cutting and allows you to easily adjust the quantity needed for a test, then for a formula. The 20 kg bag is especially suitable for a workshop that uses this product regularly. Before ordering, compare this volume to the actual consumption per batch and the space available for storage.

Frequently asked questions about the GEWAX 170LT wax
This FAQ answers questions specific to GEWAX 170LT mineral microcrystalline wax: paraffin, soft grade, additive, candle, capping, coating, textile and finishes.
Both are mineral waxes derived from saturated hydrocarbons. The branched chains make the microcrystalline wax fine, flexible and adherent, while paraffin is more rigid and brittle.
This grade can be studied when a formula must remain malleable, less brittle or more flexible. The effect depends on the proportion, the associated components and the final support.
It is mainly used as an additive. Mixed with paraffin, a resin or another material, it can provide cohesion, adhesion and binding power after validation of the dosage.
It can reinforce the cohesion, flexibility or adhesion of a candle mixture. It does not automatically replace a Container or Pilar wax chosen as the main base.
Capping waxes are part of the advertised uses. The flexible and binding grade of GEWAX 170LT is evaluated according to the shape of the closure and the expected result.
Yes. On the actual support, check the quantity deposited, the adhesion, the protective aspect and, if desired, the tightness of the packaging.
Its flexibility and adhesion can help the coating follow the movements of the textile. The result depends on the fiber, the deposit and the use of the finished material.
This industrial microcrystalline wax can be evaluated in a finish. Check the binder, drying, shine, polish and protective effect on the surface.
Yes. Compatibility with a resin, solvent or any other component must be checked on a case-by-case basis; the name of the grade does not guarantee the mixture.
This cannot be inferred from the name or the use in capping or coating. Any contact application must be qualified for the finished product, with appropriate testing and applicable regulatory requirements.
No. GEWAX 170LT is a wax of mineral origin and should not be qualified as a vegetable, natural or vegan wax.
Define the function, test several proportions and check the support. GEWAX 170LT is delivered in pellets in a 20 kg bag.
