Overview

Dewox 220 is a solid paraffinic protective wax developed for formulating temporary anti-corrosion protectives. A brown solid at room temperature, it melts cleanly at 44 °C (111 °F) for easy incorporation into solvent and oil systems.

Insoluble in water and soluble in toluene and petroleum diluents, Dewox 220 gives formulators a dependable wax base for protective oils and films where a controlled melt point and a stable, water-repellent barrier are required.

Chemistry: Paraffinic / petroleum-derived protective wax.

Applications

  • Temporary anti-corrosion protective oils
  • Protective film formulation
  • Solvent and oil-based rust-preventive systems

Key benefits

  • Controlled melt point for clean processing
  • Stable, water-repellent barrier film
  • Soluble in toluene and petroleum diluents
  • Reliable paraffinic base for temporary protectives
