Micropro

Micro Powders, Inc. Brand

Products:7

Modified polypropylene waxes characterized by higher melt points and toughness. These products exhibit excellent surface slip, mar resistance, anti-blocking and gloss control, while improving metal marking resistance. They are useful for suspending silica additives and provide a non-abrasive smooth surface. Micropro 440W is specifically formulated for easy incorporation in water based systems.
