Micronized wax is a specially processed wax powder with an extremely fine particle size. Due to its unique physical form and chemical properties, it has extensive and significant applications across numerous industrial sectors and everyday products.
Paint and Ink Industry
Slipperiness Enhancement and Scratch Resistance: When incorporated into paints and inks, it forms a uniform, fine wax film on the cured coating surface. This significantly reduces the coefficient of friction, enhancing surface smoothness, scratch resistance, and abrasion resistance. Commonly employed in high-end furniture lacquers, automotive paints, and electronic casing coatings.
Anti-adhesion: Prevents coating films from sticking together during stacking or rolling, particularly suitable for coil coatings, can coatings, and leather finishes.
Matting effect: By creating microscopic surface roughness through micro-wax particles, light scattering is induced to achieve a matt or semi-gloss finish. Used in formulating matt paints and matt inks.
Texture and tactile enhancement: Can impart distinctive surface sensations to coatings, such as silk-like or velvety textures.
