Powder coating additive high quality micronized wax

The primary functions of micro-wax in powder coatings:
1. Scratch and abrasion resistance
Mechanism: During baking and curing, wax particles migrate to the coating
surface, forming a thin, dense protective layer. This wax film possesses a
low coefficient of friction and excellent lubricity, effectively reducing
surface scratches and wear.
Applications: Widely employed in sectors demanding high surface durability,
such as household appliances (e.g., refrigerator and washing machine panels),
aluminium extrusions, outdoor furniture, and automotive components.
2. Enhanced Flow and Hand Feel (Slipperiness Enhancement)
Mechanism: Wax particles suspended on the surface render the coating
smoother, not only reducing friction but also imparting a refined, silky-
smooth tactile quality.
Application: Products requiring specific tactile properties, such as
electronic casings and office furniture.
3. Anti-adhesion (anti-caking)
Mechanism: Micronised wax forms a micro-irregular ‘orange peel’ texture on
the coating surface or provides physical separation. This reduces direct
contact areas between coatings or between coatings and other surfaces,
preventing adhesion during stacking or transportation.
Applications: Critical for products requiring stacked storage, such as metal
sheets and pipes.
