Micronized wax is a high-performance additive widely used in industrial applications. In short, adding it to products such as coatings, inks, or plastics can significantly enhance their surface properties, for example, making them more wear-resistant, smoother, or imparting a unique texture and appearance.
Coatings and paints industry: This is the industry with the highest consumption of micronized wax. It includes wood and furniture finishes, automotive refinish paints and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coatings, industrial anticorrosion coatings, interior and exterior architectural coatings, and powder coatings.
Printing ink industry: In various types of inks, including gravure, flexographic, and screen printing inks, the main function of micronized wax is to prevent back soiling and blocking during winding or stacking, while improving the scratch resistance of printed materials, ensuring smooth operation in high-speed printing processes.
