Micronized wax as a viscosity modifier

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.
