Micronized polyethylene wax used as lubricant in ink

The main advantages of using micronized polyethylene wax in inks include:
significantly improved scratch resistance and abrasion resistance, enhanced
surface smoothness and slip, improved anti-blocking properties, minimal
impact on gloss, and improved pigment dispersion. It is suitable for a wide
range of ink systems, including solvent-based, water-based, and offset
printing inks.‌‌
‌Excellent scratch resistance and abrasion resistance‌: After the ink film
cures, the micropowder migrates to the surface, forming a micro-rough
protective layer that effectively resists scratches and friction.
‌Smoothness and anti-sticking‌: It reduces the coefficient of friction on the
printed surface, preventing soiling or sticking of the reverse side when
sheets are stacked, with particularly noticeable effects during high-speed
printing and in high-temperature, high-humidity environments.
