Application Analysis of Polyethylene Wax in Coatings

Polyethylene wax can be applied to inks, PVC profiles, pipes, composite stabilizers, wax products, cable materials, etc., mainly to increase the stability of products. Today, Sainuo pe wax manufacturer will give you a brief analysis of the benefits of polyethylene wax application in coatings!

Polyethylene wax used in coatings is mainly added in the form of additives, initially used to improve the surface anti expansion performance of coatings. Mainly including improving the smoothness, scratch resistance, and waterproofing of the coating film. In addition, it can also affect the rheological properties of coatings, and its addition can make the orientation of solid particles such as aluminum powder in metal flash paint uniform.

It can be used as a matting agent in matte paint, and the matting effect of wax additives varies depending on their particle size and distribution. Therefore, wax additives are suitable for both glossy and matte paints.

Microcrystalline modified polyethylene wax can be used to improve the surface properties of water-based industrial coatings. After addition, its smoothness, adhesion resistance, scratch resistance, and extinction effect are enhanced, and it can effectively inhibit pigment precipitation.

The characteristics provided by wax in the coating:

1. Wear resistance, scratch resistance, and scratch resistance: Wax is distributed in the coating film to protect it, prevent scratches, and provide wear resistance; For example, container coatings, wooden coatings, decorative coatings, etc. all require this function.

2. Control friction coefficient: Usually, its low friction coefficient is used to provide excellent smoothness of the coating film, while also providing a special silky soft touch due to different types of wax.

3. Chemical resistance: Due to the stability of wax, it can give the film better water resistance, salt water spray resistance and other properties.

4. Prevention of adhesion: To avoid adhesion or adhesion of coated or printed materials.

5. Control glossiness: Choose an appropriate wax to achieve different extinction effects depending on the amount added.

6. Prevent hard deposits such as silica and increase the storage stability of the coating.

7. Prevent metal scratches: Especially in printing can coatings, in addition to providing good processability, it can also protect the storage stability of printing can storage materials.

Dosage and addition method:

The general dosage of polyethylene wax is 1-3%, which is usually added before extrusion; Both before and after extrusion can be added, and adding less than 1% afterwards can achieve excellent results.
