What Kind Of Wax Is Used For Hardening Water-based Paint

What kind of wax is used for water-based paint hardener? Wax powder in water-based coatings has the functions of degassing, defoaming, bonding, hardening and sanding. It is a major additive in the water-based coating industry. Tianshi wax powder produces 9,000 tons of wax micropowder and PTFE micropowder annually. 6,000 tons of wax emulsion and water-based wax slurry, 12,000 tons of oxidized wax and refined wax, serving dozens of seven industries such as coatings, inks, leather, engineering plastics, textiles, printing and dyeing, adhesives, mold release agents, and cosmetics.

TIANSHI wax powder can be used in powder coatings, mainly to improve the surface hardness of the product, increase the scratch resistance, and improve the surface smoothness of the coating.
Polyene wax has stable chemical properties, smooth feel, high hardness and good abrasion resistance. Refresher etc. Used in the paint industry.

Application function of polyene wax emulsion in water-based coatings:
(1) After the high-slip, high-wear, anti-scratch polyene wax emulsion is added to the water-based paint, during the film-forming process, the wax drifts to the surface of the paint film and disperses evenly, and a film will form on the paint film. Layer wax protective film, the friction coefficient is thus reduced, which can improve the coating’s anti-friction, improve slip and scratch resistance.
(2) The gloss of the coating is mainly affected by the particle size of the emulsion. Generally speaking, the better the gloss effect, the greater the particle size change of the wax emulsion, which is related to the gloss of the coating and the crystallinity of the wax.

The particle size of the wax additive is small, generally speaking, the smaller the particle size, the better the gloss, the larger the particle size, the better the anti-wear property.
