1. introduction

liquid wax is a common chemical production of raw materials, widely used in plastics, rubber, fiber and other polymer compounds in the production. It is mainly composed of hydrocarbons, with good thermal stability, low volatility and high viscosity. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the properties and uses of liquid wax in the field of chemical production raw materials in detail, in order to provide guidance for the application of liquid wax.

2. Properties of liquid wax

liquid wax is mainly composed of hydrocarbons, and the number of carbon atoms in its molecular structure is generally between 10 and 30. Liquid wax has good thermal stability and can be used at high temperatures without being easily decomposed. In addition, liquid wax has low volatility and can maintain stability at high temperatures for a long time. The liquid wax has a high viscosity and can be used as a lubricant.

3. The use of liquid wax

3.1 polymer compound production raw material

liquid wax can be used as a raw material for the production of many polymer compounds, such as plastics, rubber, fiber and so on. In the production of polymer compounds, liquid wax can be used as a carrier or solvent to uniformly disperse monomers or oligomers during processing, thereby obtaining polymer materials with excellent properties.

3.2 Lubricant

Liquid wax can be used as a lubricant due to its high viscosity and good thermal stability. In many high-temperature, high-pressure and high-speed equipment, liquid wax can effectively reduce friction and wear, and improve the service life and efficiency of the equipment.

3.3 solvents and additives

liquid wax can also be used as solvents and additives to improve the performance and stability of other chemicals. For example, liquid wax can be used as an additive for inks, coatings, etc., to improve their weather resistance, oxidation resistance, and leveling properties.

4. The production process and market status of liquid wax

The production process of liquid wax mainly includes petroleum refining and coal chemical industry. Among them, petroleum refining is the main mode of production, through catalytic cracking, hydrocracking and other processes to convert heavy hydrocarbons in petroleum into liquid wax. The coal chemical method is to produce synthesis gas through coal gasification, liquefaction and other processes, and then further synthesize liquid wax.

At present, the global liquid wax market is showing a steady growth trend. With the increasing demand for chemicals, liquid wax is one of the important raw materials, and its market demand is gradually expanding. At the same time, with the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application fields, the market prospect of liquid wax is also very broad.

5. Future development trend

the future, with the continuous improvement of environmental protection awareness and the enhancement of sustainable development needs, the production and application of liquid wax will face new challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen technological research and development and innovation, improve the production efficiency and quality of liquid wax, reduce production costs, and meet market demand. On the other hand, it is necessary to actively expand the application fields of liquid wax, develop new application fields and markets, and promote the sustainable development of the liquid wax industry.

6. Conclusion

In conclusion, liquid wax has a wide range of uses and important value in the field of chemical production raw materials. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application fields, the market prospect of liquid wax is very broad. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen technological research and development and innovation, improve the production efficiency and quality of liquid wax, reduce production costs to meet market demand. At the same time actively expand the application of liquid wax to develop new applications and markets to promote the sustainable development of the liquid wax industry.
