The role of wax emulsion in various coatings, in the coating formulation, polyethylene wax emulsion can effectively improve the wear resistance of the paint film, the paint film is very smooth, effectively reduce the friction coefficient of the coating, play a non-adhesive role, but also improve the service life of the product.
1.Synthetic wax emulsion can improve the toughness of the coating: when using plastic as the base material, the requirements for the coating are different. Commonly used low molecular weight polyethylene wax emulsion. When applied to acrylic or polyethylene glycol copolymers, the crosslinking and affinity of thermosetting coatings will be greatly improved.
2.Water-based wax emulsion can improve the wear resistance, scratch resistance and adhesion resistance of the coating. It can be used as primer and topcoat for transparent high gloss system without affecting transparent gloss and recoating performance. The abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, hardening resistance, smoothness and adhesion resistance of the coating are significantly improved.
3.Synthetic wax emulsions are used in different areas of the coating of different products, for example, wax emulsions can improve the anti-sagging property of architectural coatings, polyethylene wax emulsions, which have good stability due to the coating systems used to manufacture anti-settling agents, in many solvent-based resin systems. The addition can prevent silica gel from settling or oxidizing polyethylene wax to form a lump.

In the painting/printing process of various coatings, it is often necessary to have a dry, full, anti-adhesion film, which does not affect the performance of the entire product. The main anti-adhesion effect is achieved by adding water-based wax emulsion to the coating formulation.
