Ope wax used in powder coating and ink

Oxidized polyethylene wax is primarily added as a functional additive,
delivering multifaceted performance enhancements:
1. Scratch and abrasion resistance
Mechanism: Wax particles disperse uniformly within the coating. Upon curing,
some rise to the surface, forming an ultra-thin, smooth protective layer that
reduces surface friction coefficients.
Applications: Widely employed in wood finishes, furniture coatings,
industrial paints, packaging inks, and other applications requiring scratch-
resistant surfaces.
2. Enhanced slip resistance
Imparts a smooth, refined tactile quality to coated surfaces, particularly
crucial for high-end furniture finishes, electronic product coatings, and
plastic film printing inks.
3. Anti-blocking properties
Creates a microscopic textured surface structure that prevents adhesion
between stacked or wound coatings or printed films. Essential for coil
coatings and packaging film printing inks.
