VESTOWAX®
The Value Additive
Synthetic Waxes
With its VESTOWAX® product range Evonik offers synthetic waxes produced
by Fischer-Tropsch-Process.
This process yields straight-chain products possessing low viscosity in the melt
and having molecular weights of between 500 and 1,000 g/mol.
The definition of the term ›wax‹ is based less on the chemical composition of
a substance than on its physical properties:
• kneadable at 20 °C, with a consistency ranging from solid to brittle-hard
• coarsely to finely crystalline, translucent to opaque
• melt above 40 °C without decomposition
• already of relatively low viscosity at just above the melting point
• highly temperature-dependent consistency and solubility
• can be polished under gentle pressure
In addition to crude FT-wax, the range of VESTOWAX® products includes
modified hard paraffins, oxidates and partially saponified waxes.
Depending on the supply form different bags sizes are offered:
Prills usually in 25 kg bags or 700 kg big bags, pellets and coarse powder usually
in 20 kg bags, microfine powder usually in 15 kg bags.

• solutions for a multitude of applications
