Abstract:  Wax additives are used as surface modifiers in coating formulations and printing inks to provide antiblocking, COF control, matting, hydrophobicity, burnish and abrasion resistance. Besides the chemical nature of the waxes, the particle size distribution, concentration, substrate, form of delivery and curing conditions are important to consider.  for achieving the desired surface properties.

The presentation provides guidelines for selecting a wax  to get the optimal performance in your coating
