The processing of wax and wax additives with supercritical fluids
Waxes have many potential uses but large-scale application is hampered by their virtual insolubility. By grafting the wax with a polyethylene glycol segment to form an alcohol ethoxylate, the solubility of the wax in commercial solvents is significantly increased. Alcohol ethoxylates are produced...
