Micronized wax as lubricant for colour masterbatch

Micronized wax is primarily used as a highly effective dispersant in colour
masterbatches. Its role and mechanism of action in colour masterbatches are
as follows:
Core role: Highly effective dispersant
Mechanism of action: With a particle size similar to that of the pigment, it
effectively isolates and wets the pigment particles, preventing their re-
agglomeration.
Practical benefits: Improves pigment dispersion and tinting strength, reduces
pigment consumption and costs, whilst minimising filter screen blockages.
Core role: Processing aid
Mechanism of action: Reduces the viscosity of the polymer melt, improving the
flow properties of the compound during processing.
Practical benefits: Enhances production efficiency, reduces energy
consumption during processing, and ensures smoother production.
