The significant differences between Fischer-Tropsch synthetic waxes and the common polyethylene wax (PE wax) are:

1. The different relative molecular masses. The molecular weight of Fischer-Tropsch waxes is much lower than that of PE waxes, and the branched chains are also smaller. The high crystallinity makes it easy to penetrate into the high-viscosity macromolecular chains, significantly reducing the melt viscosity, with little migration during processing and a significant lubricating effect at a later stage.
2. Fischer-Tropsch waxes are saturated direct alkanes, which do not contain double bonds and have a high resistance to oxidation and good weather resistance.
3. The viscosity of Fischer-Tropsch wax is much lower than that of PE wax. It is only about 10 mPa.s. The same lubricating effect can be achieved with less dosage. The amount used is only 70-80% of PE wax.

1. The product with a melting point of about 60 degrees obtained by Fischer-Tropsch wax through short-range rectification can completely replace petroleum wax for candles, crayons, and wax paper.
2. The production of refined Fischer-Tropsch wax products has been widely used. Fischer-Tropsch wax is a new variety in the wax market, mainly used as a substitute for traditional products such as petroleum wax and stearic acid. At present, crude wax and refined wax are available in the market, and refined wax is mainly circulated by high melting point wax.
