Shell GTL Microcrystalline Waxes

Introducing the world's first commercial scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) synthetic microcrystalline waxes - Shell GTL Sarawax MMP (Medium-Melting Point), MMP Plus (Medium-Melting Point with higher isoparaffin content) and HMP (High-Melting Point).

Improved Flexibility Performance

Medium & high melting point portfolio

Ranging from 70-76°C for MMP and 80-90°C for HMP, covering medium to high processing and application temperatures.

Highly-branched chain and high oil binding capacity

Isoparaffin mass of over 60% allows for higher flexibility of the molecular structure. High branching of hydrocarbons allows it to bind more effectively with oil and reduce the amount of free oil in the formulation.

Suitable for variety of application

High isoparaffins, narrow carbon number distribution, as well as low oil content, results in products that are highly flexible and suitable for a range of applications.

Good Environmental Properties & Health Management

Meets UV absorbance limits and safe for food consumption

High purity and consistent properties specifically designed to meet FDA 21 CFR 172.886(b) absorbance requirements, allowing it to be safely used in or on food.

High purity and odourless

Isoparaffin mass of over 60% allows for higher flexibility of the molecular structure. High branching of hydrocarbons allows it to bind more effectively with oil and reduce the amount of free oil in the formulation.
