White micronized wax for Epoxy resin

Micronized wax is a solid powder with an extremely fine particle size
(typically 1-20 microns). When added to an epoxy resin system and cured, its
mechanism of action is as follows:
1. Floating Migration Effect: This is the primary mechanism. Due to poor
compatibility between wax and epoxy resin, coupled with its low density, wax
particles gradually migrate to the coating surface during curing.
Formation of a protective layer: Ultimately, these wax particles create an
extremely fine, uniform, and uneven wax film on the outermost layer of the
coating. This film acts as a “sacrificial layer.”
Reduced Friction Coefficient: When an object scrapes the coating surface, the
force first impacts these protruding wax particles rather than directly
affecting the epoxy resin matrix. This significantly lowers the surface
friction coefficient, achieving scratch resistance and wear resistance.
Generated Micro-Irregularities: The surface wax particles make complete
optical contact difficult, thereby also contributing to a certain degree of
matting effect (reducing gloss).
