Fischer-Tropsch Wax F110: An Ideal Raw Material for EVA Adhesives
Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) adhesives are popular hot melt adhesives used in a variety of industrial applications like packaging, bookbinding, woodworking, and footwear manufacturing. EVA adhesives offer several benefits such as flexibility, toughness, solvent resistance, and low-temperature performance. However, EVA adhesives require the addition of waxes to improve properties like melting point, hardness, and tack.

Fischer-Tropsch wax F110 is an excellent wax for modifying EVA adhesives. It is a synthetic wax produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, a process that converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons. F110 wax contains a high percentage of linear hydrocarbon chains with an average carbon number of 32-36, giving it a melting point of around 110A C.


Product Application
The linear structure and melting point of F110 wax make it ideal for improving the properties of EVA adhesives in several ways:

It increases the melting point and hardness of the adhesive without significantly impacting flexibility and toughness. This allows the adhesive to withstand higher use temperatures.

It reduces the tackiness of the adhesive, improving the handling properties. The adhesive is less sticky and easier to apply without stringing.

It enhances the heat resistance of the adhesive. The wax limits molecular mobility within the adhesive, allowing it to better retain its properties under elevated temperatures during application or use.

It reduces the cost of the adhesive. The wax acts as an economical filler, reducing the amount of expensive EVA copolymer required.
