SASOLWAX C80-G (ground wax) is an economical, finely micronised FT hardwax powder with a medium melting point, good rub resistance, excellent slip performance and outstanding gloss properties. This product is particularly suitable for lithographic heat-set inks. It also performs very well as an additive to water-based inks, provided high-speed mixing equipment is used to disperse the wax in the ink.

SASOLWAX AQUA 30G-EF is an extra fine Micronized (D50 = 5 µm), oxidized and saponified version of Sasolwax Spray 30-G for the use in waterbased formulations providing lubricity as well as slip and scratch resistance in Inks-Paints and Coatings formulations, especially thin films.

SASOLWAX H1, a high melting Fischer–Tropsch wax with a molecular weight of 750 g/mol, is available in flaked and pellet form and is mostly used by intermediate companies who do wax grinding. Due to its favourable price–performance ratio, this product is ideal for blending with high-priced grades such as PTFE. Processed for use in: Lithographic heat-set inks / Waterbased liquid inks / Wax blend components.

SASOLWAX 5203 is a fully refined paraffin wax with a low melting point.
