Micronized polyethylene wax is primarily employed in powder coatings to enhance scratch resistance, achieve a matt finish, impart a smooth tactile feel, and improve coating performance. Specific applications and characteristics are outlined below:

Core Functions

‌Scratch Resistance and Abrasion Resistance‌: Upon dispersion, the wax forms a protective layer that reduces the coefficient of friction, minimising scratches and polishing tendencies.

‌Matt Finish and Texture‌: Wax particles migrate to the surface, creating a matt effect and reducing gloss.

‌Smooth Handfeel‌: Imparts an exceptionally smooth texture to the coating, enhancing user experience. ‌

Application Advantages

‌Processing Performance‌: Reduces extrusion torque and increases production output. ‌

‌Pigment Dispersion‌: Enhances pigment wettability, improving colour strength. ‌

‌Water Resistance‌: Hydrophobic coatings demonstrate greater resistance to humid environments.
