Application Of Fischer-Tropsch Wax In Powder Coating

Application of Fischer-Tropsch wax in powder coating, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis refers to a production process of synthesizing alkanes by combining carbon monoxide and hydrogen under high pressure with a unique catalyst. According to the requirements of downstream products (such as fuel, lubricating oil, wax), the FT process can synthesize alkanes of different chain lengths and separate alkanes by distillation.

TIANSHI refined Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax, this advanced product has the characteristics of high melting point, low viscosity, high hardness, etc., and has excellent performance in many application fields.

Main application characteristics Plastic industry FT wax can be applied to plastic processing, such as injection molding, extrusion and granulation industries.

It can be used in masterbatch and modified plastic industries, which helps to disperse fillers and have excellent smoothness during mixing. The addition amount is 10-20% less than that of ordinary PE wax, and it can significantly improve the surface gloss of the product.

At the same time, it can reduce the extrusion viscosity of inks and coatings. When used in inks as microparticles, it can improve the wear resistance and wrinkle resistance of the application materials.

When applied to coatings, it can produce wrinkles, and when used in a micro-powder state, it can produce stripe and water-mark wrinkles.

When added to powder coating resin, it acts as a lubricant during the extrusion process, which can reduce screw torque, reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency. Initially, wax was used in powder coatings to improve the surface properties of the coating, mainly including improving the smoothness, scratch resistance and waterproofness of the coating. Later, it was used to affect the rheological properties of the coating, such as degassing, improving smoothing and matting capabilities, and changing the surface condition of the coating.
