Micronized PP wax for powder coating

Polypropylene wax (PP wax) is widely used in powder coatings to enhance surface properties, processing flowability, and mechanical performance.

1. Key Functions

Lubricant & Leveling Agent:

Reduces melt viscosity, improves flow during curing, and minimizes defects (e.g., orange peel, craters) for a smoother surface.

Lowers friction between screws and materials during extrusion, boosting production efficiency.

Anti-Scratch & Abrasion Resistance:

Migrates to the coating surface, forming a protective layer to enhance scratch resistance—ideal for demanding applications (e.g., automotive parts, furniture).

Anti-Blocking Agent:

Prevents coating layers from sticking during stacking or transport, especially in high-temperature environments (e.g., tropical climates, dense packaging).

Matting Effect (synergistic with matting agents):

Adjusts surface light reflection via microcrystalline structures to achieve semi-gloss or matte finishes (e.g., matte powder coatings).

Dispersant & Hydrophobic Agent:

Promotes uniform dispersion of pigments/fillers, reducing agglomeration.

Hydrophobicity improves water resistance and anti-stain properties.
