These applications may, however, be restricted by certain properties of the wax such as brittleness and in compounding. Cross-linking of the long chains in waxes may provide improved physical properties and hence a wider application of these waxes79 penHydrocarbonsParaffin waxPetroleum productsWaxesThesishttps://doi.org/10.51415/10321/2888
