Why Can Wax Emulsion Increase The Hardness Of Paint Film

Why can wax emulsion increase the hardness of paint film? Many water-based paint customers want to increase the hardness of the paint film by adding additives, so what kind of wax emulsion can significantly improve the hardness of the paint film? What is its working principle? Let’s find out together.

wax dispertions

1. Hardening principle of wax emulsion: After high-slip, high-wear-resistance, and anti-scratch polyene wax emulsion is added to the water-based paint, during the film-forming process, the wax emulsion drifts to the surface of the paint film and disperses evenly. A protective wax film is formed on the coating film, which reduces the coefficient of friction; this improves the coating’s anti-friction, slip and scratch resistance.
2. The relationship between paint film hardness and wax emulsion: The gloss of the coating is mainly affected by the particle size of the emulsion. Generally speaking, the better the gloss effect is, the greater the particle size of the wax emulsion changes, which is related to the gloss of the coating and the effect of the wax. related to crystallinity.

The application of TIANSHI wax emulsion in water-based coatings is mainly to improve the surface hardness of the product, increase the scratch resistance, and improve the surface smoothness of the coating. Polyene wax emulsion has stable chemical properties, smooth feel, high hardness and good abrasion resistance. Slip agent, etc., used in the coating industry.
