Application Of Water-based Wax Emulsion Products In Coating Materials

The application of water-based wax emulsion products in coating materials, with the start of the environmental protection war, water-based environmental protection materials in many areas slowly replaced oily solvents, has become a trend of industry development, and as an indispensable water-based wax emulsion products in water-based coatings, because of its unique performance and role, widely used in water-based coating materials.

1、change the surface properties of the coating, to protect the coating, adjust the gloss and other functions.
The role of wax in most water-based surface coating formulations is to change the surface properties of the coating, such as improving the smoothness of the coating or anti-slip, anti-wear, anti-adhesion, changing gloss, water repellent, rust prevention, etc. In use, wax particles occupy the surface of the coating during the drying process, forming an isolation layer, so as to play a protective role.

2、In some fields, wax emulsions are used as special coating resins.
Wax emulsions, especially microemulsions, have certain film forming properties to form a coating on the substrate. Because the wax has excellent hardness, polishability, feel, hydrophobicity, good chemical resistance stability, non-toxicity, wax emulsion as the theme of the coating is often used in the field of polish, water resistant agent, rust coating.

3、isolation and bonding.
Wax is generally considered to have good anti-viscosity and isolation, so it is often used as a release agent, isolation agent and other products in papermaking, rubber and plastic processing, metal die casting and other fields, among which polyethylene wax emulsion is more used. However, it is interesting that in the water-based sealing products for the packaging of paper products and PE, PP film bonding, some formulations use polyethylene wax emulsion and loose tongue, VAE emulsion, and achieve good results. In the formulation, polyethylene wax emulsion mainly plays the role of increasing the adhesion with PE and PP films.

Water-based wax emulsion products, with the deepening of the environmental protection war, will be used more and more widely.
