In industrial applications, micro-powder wax is primarily used as a functional additive in coatings, inks, and plastic processing. Its core function is to improve surface properties, such as scratch resistance, wear resistance, anti-blocking, and a smooth, slippery feel.
Coatings and Wood Finishes: Enhances the coating’s scratch resistance, wear resistance, and surface slip, and is used in solvent-based coatings, powder coatings, and wood varnishes to maintain transparency while improving the tactile feel.
Ink Printing: Used in gravure, offset, and flexographic printing systems to reduce the coefficient of friction and improve scratch resistance and slip.
Plastics and Rubber Processing: Used as a lubricant in PVC pelletizing, pipe manufacturing, and other processes to improve dispersion and processing flow, enhance product gloss, and reduce dust generation and screw torque.
