Microcrystalline Wax Block

Jacquard Microcrystalline Wax is a versatile, high-quality wax widely used in encaustic art, candle making, and batik. Softer and more flexible than paraffin wax, it offers excellent adhesive properties and a smooth finish, making it a popular choice for mixed-media artists and crafters.

Unlike paraffin, microcrystalline wax has a higher melting point and finer crystalline structure, giving it a stronger, more elastic texture. This makes it particularly useful for increasing durability and pliability when blended with other waxes. It is often combined with paraffin in the art of batik to achieve richer effects and improved control.

Perfect for encaustic painters, this wax helps extend working time, enhances surface strength, and prevents cracking. Its stable, refined nature also makes it suitable for conservation and restoration applications where flexibility and longevity are essential.
