Micronized PE wax with wear resistance

Micronized wax exhibits wear resistance, rendering it suitable as an additive
in diverse industrial applications. Its abrasion-resistant properties
primarily stem from the protective layer it forms on coated surfaces or
substrates, effectively countering friction and scratches.
‌Wear Resistance Mechanism‌: Micronized wax enhances wear resistance by
increasing coating hardness and surface smoothness. For instance, the core-
shell structure of acrylic micronized wax disperses external forces, reducing
localised stress on the coating. Simultaneously, its smooth surface lowers
the coefficient of friction, thereby minimising scratch formation.
‌Primary Application Areas‌:
‌Coatings and Inks‌: Incorporating micronized wax into solvent-based coatings
and inks (such as gravure printing inks) improves scratch resistance, anti-
scratch properties, and anti-blocking characteristics while preserving
coating gloss and flow properties.
