The Role Of PE Wax Emulsion In Coatings

PE wax emulsion plays a role in the coating. In the coating formula, polyethylene wax emulsion can effectively improve the wear resistance of the paint film. The paint film is very smooth, which effectively reduces the friction coefficient of the coating and plays a non-adhesive role. Improve the service life of the product.

1. Wax emulsion can improve the toughness of the coating: when plastic is used as the base material, the requirements for the coating are different. Commonly used low molecular weight polyethylene wax emulsion. When applied to acrylic or polyethylene glycol copolymers, the crosslinkability and affinity of thermoset coatings will be greatly improved.
2. Water-based wax emulsion can improve the wear resistance, scratch resistance and adhesion resistance of the coating. Can be used as a primer and topcoat for clear high gloss systems without compromising clear gloss and recoatability. The wear resistance, scratch resistance, hardenability, smoothness and adhesion resistance of the coating are significantly improved.
3. Polyethylene wax emulsion has high requirements on wax particle size and emulsifier dosage in the coating industry.

Therefore, the development of polyethylene wax emulsion with high melting point (higher than 120°C) and ultrafine particle size (less than 100nm) has always been a Technical difficulties in the ink and paint industries. Tianshi polyethylene wax emulsion has a melting range of 90-145°C, is light yellow and translucent, is odorless and tasteless, has excellent strength and toughness, and is cheaper than palm wax. It has become the first choice in the paint and ink industries.
PE wax emulsion is widely used in food packaging containers, textiles, resin finishing agents, softeners, printing inks, water-based paints, printing pastes, water-based varnishes (leather chemical, shoe chemical, paper products, shoe milk, adhesives, car care , floor care), etc.
