As an important chemical raw material, wax emulsion is widely used in coatings, textiles, paper, leather and other industries. During the production process, wax emulsions may encounter some technical difficulties, which not only affect production efficiency, but also may affect product quality and performance. As a wax emulsion supplier, Excel is committed to providing high-quality wax emulsion products and professional solutions to help customers solve common production problems.

Causes and solutions for wax emulsion instability

The stability of wax emulsions is one of the most common problems in the production process. When wax emulsions are stratified, precipitated or thickened, it is usually caused by improper emulsifier selection or unbalanced raw material ratio. In order to ensure the stability of wax emulsions, it is recommended to use suitable emulsifiers and strictly control the temperature and stirring speed during the production process.

Solution:

Use high-efficiency emulsifiers to ensure uniform dispersion of wax and water.

Maintain the stability of the emulsion by adjusting the formula appropriately.

Monitor the production process regularly to prevent the emulsion from stratifying or precipitating during storage.

Solution to excessive viscosity of wax emulsions

The viscosity of wax emulsions has an important impact on its application performance. If the viscosity is too high, it may affect the subsequent coating, processing and use effects. Generally, wax emulsions with too high viscosity may be caused by too high wax content or inappropriate emulsifier concentration.

Solution:

Appropriately reduce the amount of wax added and adjust the concentration of the emulsion.

Add an appropriate amount of thickener or diluent to adjust the viscosity of the emulsion to an appropriate range.

Adjust the temperature and time of the emulsification process to optimize the consistency of the emulsion.

Problem of too high surface tension of wax emulsion

Excessive surface tension will cause unevenness of wax emulsion during coating, affecting the quality of the coating. The common reason is that the interfacial tension between wax and water in the emulsion is too large, resulting in poor fluidity during coating.

Solution:

Adjust the type and proportion of emulsifier to improve the surface tension of wax emulsion.

Add surfactant to improve the wettability and fluidity of the emulsion.

Add an appropriate amount of wetting agent to help the wax emulsion form a uniform coating on the surface of the substrate.

Uneven composition of wax emulsion

Uneven composition is a common problem in the production process of wax emulsion, which is usually manifested in the uneven distribution of wax and water in the emulsion, resulting in inconsistent use of the emulsion.

Solution:

Use efficient stirring equipment to ensure uniform mixing of wax and water.

Adjust the stirring time and speed during the production process to avoid component separation.

When mixing ingredients, strictly control the proportion of each ingredient to ensure the consistency of the formula.

Storage problems of wax emulsion

Improper storage can also affect the quality of wax emulsion, especially in the case of long-term storage, wax emulsion is prone to precipitation, stratification and other problems. Appropriate storage conditions can extend the service life of wax emulsion and ensure its stability and effect.

Solution:

Store wax emulsion in a cool and dry environment, avoid high temperature and direct sunlight.

Use sealed containers to store wax emulsion to prevent water evaporation and air contact.

Check the quality of wax emulsion regularly to ensure that no precipitation or stratification occurs before use.
