Microcrystalline waxes are a type of wax produced by de-oiling petrolatum, as part of the petroleum refining process. Microcrystalline waxes are derived from the refining of the heavy distillates from lubricant oil production. This by product then must be de-oiled at a wax refinery. Depending on the end use and desired specification, the product then may have its odor removed and color removed. Microcrystalline wax is often used in industries such as the tire and rubber, candles, adhesives, corrugated board, cosmetics, castings, and a host of others. Refineries may also utlize blending facilities to combine paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. Microcrystalline wax is also a key component in the manufacture of petrolatum.

Paraffin wax is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 47 °C to 64 °C ( 116.6°F to 147.2°F). It is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters. Its main uses include Candle-making, Coatings for waxed paper or cloth, food additive, Investment casting, Inks and Cosmetics.

Montan wax, also known as lignite wax or OP wax, is a hard wax obtained by solvent extraction of certain types of lignite or brown coal. It is used for making car and shoe polishes, paints, and phonograph records, and as lubricant for molding paper and plastics. About a third of total world production is used in car-polishing polishes. Formerly, its main use was making carbon paper.  

Carnauba, also called Brazil wax and palm wax, is a wax of the leaves a plant native to and grown only in the northeastern Brazilian states. It usually comes in the form of hard yellow-brown flakes. Carnauba wax can produce a glossy finish and as such is used in automobile waxes, shoe polishes, dental floss, paper coatings, cosmetics formulas, food products such as sweets, instrument polishes, and floor and furniture waxes and polishes, especially when mixed with beeswax and with turpentine.

Polyethylene wax is manufactured from a low molecular weight, high density raw material, which is designed to give the particular performance characteristic required by industrial use
