Micro Powders is showcasing two new high performance waxes for low VOC systems at its booth at the American Coatings Show in Charlotte.
Aquaklean 410 is a specially formulated wax polymer that imparts imprint resistance and washability when added to low VOC paint and coatings. Aquaklean 410 is a zero VOC dispersion of finely micronized, cross-linked polyethylene and carnauba for easy addition by means of conventional mixing equipment. Aquaklean 410’s unique composition combines with synergistic properties of several waxes to produce consistent, long-lasting imprint and block resistance along with increased washability in low VOC, low Tg paint systems.
Micromatte 1011 UVW is Micro Powders’ newest addition to its line of finely micronized, modified polypropylene waxes specifically formulated for use in water reducible and UV cured paint and coatings. Micromatte 1011 UVW incorporates high molecular weight polymers and micro encapsulated inorganics in order to provide optimum mar and abrasion resistance while providing uniform and efficient gloss reduction. It will also impart uniform gloss control and a smooth feel to waterborne and UV surface coatings on wood, metal or paper. It is easily dispersed into most paint, coatings or inks with a high-speed disperser. Micromatte 1011 UVW is specifically formulated to eliminate flotation and, due to its toughness and non-abrasive micro encapsulation technology, it will prevent burnishing while preserving application rheology.
