Polyethylene wax is an indispensable additive in powder coatings, which plays an important
role in improving wear resistance, smoothness, friction resistance and degassing, here is a
brief introduction to polyethylene wax in powder coatings in the specific effect of it.
What’s powder coating?
Powder coatings are solid powder synthetic resin coatings composed of solid resins,
pigments, fillers and additives. And ordinary solvent-based coating and water-based coating
different, its dispersion medium is not solvent and water, but air. It has the characteristics of
no solvent pollution, 100% film formation and low energy consumption.
Role of polyethylene wax in powder coatings:
1. Degassing property
Because the surface of powder coated substrate has small molecule material, especially used
in porous substrate such as cast iron, cast aluminum, and zinc substrate, this kind of wax
solves the coating defects such as pores, bubbles and depression caused by the above
substrate.
2. Smoothness
Polyethylene wax can improve the smoothness and storage stability of coatings.
Polyethylene wax can be made in the baking process does not produce odor and smoke,
more environmentally friendly.
3. Control glossiness
In general, the wax additives used in coatings will have the requirements of extinction and
gloss, because in baking, wax will float to the surface of the film, forming fog, thus play a
role in reducing gloss.
4. Abrasion resistance, scratch resistance
Wax is distributed on the surface of the coating to protect the film, prevent scratches,
abrasions and provide wear resistance.
