Polypropylene micronized wax is primarily used as a modifying additive in coatings, inks, plastics processing, and hot-melt adhesives. Its core function is to enhance surface properties—including scratch resistance, wear resistance, anti-blocking properties, a smooth, slippery feel, and a matte finish.
Wood finishes and floor coatings: With uniform particle size and easy dispersion, when used in combination with silica matting powder, it imparts a soft feel and a lasting matte finish to the coating surface, while also preventing the matting powder from settling.
Powder Coatings: Increases hardness and scratch and wear resistance, aids in matting, and produces absolutely no smoke when baked at 180°C.
Improves the wear resistance, vividness, and heat resistance of printing inks, reduces ink creasing, and maintains good transparency.
Suitable for solvent-based gravure inks, lithographic/offset inks, and overprint varnishes.
