Abstract
Wax compositions are provided with improved properties for various applications, such as coating of composite cellulosic materials, e.g., composite wood material, particleboard, medium density fiberboard, construction board or combination thereof. As described herein, paraffin wax compositions are provided that have n-paraffin content of from about 30% wt to about 95% wt, and a 95% carbon number spread of from about 1 carbon atoms to about 23 carbon atoms, which provide enhanced water proofing properties as compared to waxes currently used.
Claims14
A wax composition comprising a total n-paraffin content of from 32% wt to 65% wt and a 95% carbon number spread of from 8 to 23, and
- wherein the wax composition satisfies the expressions:
- (% npar)>−125+7.25*95% C#spread (Eq 4);
- (% npar)<79.97−1.62*(95% C#spread) (Eq 1);
- and
- (% npar)>67.57−1.62*(95% C#spread) (Eq 2).
