Wax emulsion is an important additive widely used in coatings, inks, textiles, papermaking and leather industries. Different types of wax emulsions have different performances, so it is important to choose the right wax emulsion. This article will compare the performance of several common wax emulsions so that users can better choose products that suit their needs.

Polyethylene wax emulsion

Features and applications:

It has excellent wear resistance and slipperiness, and is suitable for wood coatings, leather finishing, inks and other industries.

Excellent water resistance and scratch resistance make it also used in car care products.

It is suitable for water-based systems and can effectively improve surface hardness and chemical resistance.

Performance advantages:

The emulsion has high stability and is not easy to stratify or settle.

It can significantly improve the scratch resistance and gloss of the coating.

Oxidized polyethylene wax emulsion

Features and applications:

It has higher polarity and wettability, and is suitable for coating and finishing processes in the papermaking and textile industries.

Due to its higher molecular polarity, it can improve the anti-adhesion properties of inks and enhance the chemical corrosion resistance of coatings.

Performance advantages:

Provide better wettability and dispersibility, and improve the ability to bond with the substrate.

Maintain good stability under high temperature environment.

Carnaba wax emulsion

Features and applications:

Based on natural plant wax, it has good environmental protection characteristics.

Applicable to high gloss coatings and food packaging coatings.

Performance advantages:

Give the surface coating a higher gloss while improving water resistance.

Suitable for food-grade applications, safe and non-toxic.

Microcrystalline wax emulsion

Features and applications:

Applicable to leather, papermaking, textile and other industries, providing good sealing and water resistance.

In the textile industry, it can be used as a softener to increase the smoothness and antistatic properties of the fabric.

Performance advantages:

Strong adhesion can enhance the durability of the product.

Still has good flexibility under low temperature conditions.

Synthetic wax emulsion

Features and applications:

Can be customized according to specific application requirements, suitable for special functional coatings and inks.

Provide stronger anti-adhesion, heat resistance and waterproof properties.

Performance advantages:

It has adjustable solubility and hardness to meet different application requirements.

The emulsion particles are fine and evenly distributed, which improves the stability of the product.

How to choose a suitable wax emulsion?

When choosing a wax emulsion, you should consider the following factors:

Application industry: Different industries such as papermaking, leather, coatings, and inks have different requirements for wax emulsions.

Performance requirements: For example, waterproofness, wear resistance, glossiness, smoothness, etc.

Environmental protection requirements: Choose products that meet environmental protection standards, especially when applying food-grade products, pay attention to safety.
