Micronized wax for road construction

The application of wax micronized powder in road marking is mainly used as a
functional additive to improve the performance of marking coatings. The
following are its specific uses and advantages:
1. Anti-fouling and anti-adhesion
Anti-adhesion: wax micropowder (such as polyethylene wax, Fischer-Tropsch
wax, etc.) added to hot melt road marking coatings can form a fine wax layer
on the surface of the coatings, reduce the adhesion of dust and oil, and
reduce the wear and tear of vehicle tires on the markings.
Anti-pollution: especially in rainy and snowy weather, the hydrophobicity of
wax can delay the penetration of pollutants and keep the reflectivity of the
marking line.
2. Abrasion resistance and durability
Wax micropowder can enhance the hardness and abrasion resistance of the
paint, reduce the wear and tear caused by long-term vehicle crushing, and
extend the life of the marking line.
Synergize with resin, glass beads and other ingredients to enhance mechanical
strength.
3. Optimization of construction performance
Fluidity and dispersion: Wax micropowder can improve the fluidity of the
paint in the high temperature molten state, making the construction smoother
and the marking line more level.
Anti-settling: Prevent fillers (such as titanium dioxide, glass beads) in the
paint from settling when stored, and maintain uniformity.
4. Reflective performance aid
The wax layer on the surface can protect the reflective glass beads from
falling off easily and maintain the reflective effect at night.
5. Environmental protection and cost
Part of the wax micropowder (such as vegetable-based wax) can replace
petroleum-derived components, reducing the burden on the environment. Reduce
the cost of frequent maintenance of marking.
