Micronized wax for industrial painting

Micronized wax is a functional additive widely employed in industrial paints
to enhance the surface properties of the paint film, characterised by its
fine particle size and uniform distribution.
Primary Functions and Advantages
‌Enhanced Surface Properties‌: Micronized wax fortifies industrial paints
against scratching, adhesion, and abrasion while imparting a smooth tactile
feel. For instance, in coatings for steel structures or machinery, this
reduces damage from routine friction.‌
‌Improved Application Process‌: Incorporating micronized wax into formulations
optimises rheological properties, yielding more uniform coatings and
minimising air bubbles or orange peel effects. Certain micronized wax also
offer matting effects, making them suitable for matt or semi-gloss industrial
paints.‌
‌Broad Adaptability: Micronized wax are compatible with solvent-based, water-
based, and powder coating systems, demonstrating particular efficacy in
industrial paints, can coatings, and wood finishes. Their spherical particle
structure facilitates easy dispersion, allowing direct incorporation without
complex pre-treatment.‌
