Where it goes

Where wax additives change the surface.

  • Offset and gravure inks and overprint varnish, slip and rub resistance
  • Coil coating and metal decorating with wear-resistant PTFE grades
  • Wood coatings, PU and UV, with hand-feel pulps and matting powders
  • Waterborne paint, leather and textile finish with non-ionic emulsions

Wax Additives
01What are the uses of micronized wax?

Micronized wax migrates to the surface of the dry film and sits there. That gives slip, scratch and abrasion resistance, rub resistance on printed sheets, and matting when the particle size is right. Our HD-F powders run D50 of 3 to 6 µm, melting point 85 to 320°C, dosed at 0.1 to 3%.

02What are the three types of wax?

By origin: natural waxes such as carnauba and montan, mineral waxes such as paraffin and microcrystalline, and synthetic waxes such as PE, PP, FT and PTFE. Our range covers all three, since the ink or coating decides which one behaves.

03What is a wax emulsion?

Wax dispersed in water with an emulsifier, so it can go into a waterborne system without solvent. The HD-L series runs non ionic PE, PP, paraffin, carnauba and montan at 25 to 55% solids, with particle size down to 100 nm.

04What is wax emulsion used for?

Waterborne paint, water based ink, leather and textile finishing. It brings scrub resistance, anti blocking, water repellency and polish. Fine particle grades keep the film clear, coarser ones matte it.

05What are the disadvantages of PTFE?

PTFE costs more than any other wax on the card, and too much of it can hurt recoating and intercoat adhesion. It is worth it where wear is the real problem, such as coil coating and metal decorating. For plain slip in an offset ink, a PE or FT grade does the job for less.
