Hydrocer 257 is a stable, non-ionic aqueous synthetic wax dispersion.

DISPARLON® KS-273N is based on an amine salt of polyester acid and a non-silicone surfactant. It has outstanding anti-flooding/floating properties and also acts as a surface modifier in spray applied films.

EAGAWAX 265 Is Wax Dispersion improves the orientation of effect pigments, enhances the flip-flop effect. Short wave defects are minimized and leveling of the subsequent clear coat layer is improved. Settling in the container is also reduced.

ADDAPT WaxMul WM 35 is a high melting point PE-wax emulsion giving very good wet scrub resistance of Paints and improves the buffability of Floor polishes. It is an emulsion of Polyethylene wax in water.

CERETAN® MC 6015 is a spherical, micronized Carnauba wax (type 1). This product have application in: 1) Paints and coatings e.g. powder-, can-, car-, industrial-, building-, furniture- and floor coatings, UV systems 2) Printing inks e.g. overprint-, screen-, flexo-, offset- and intaglio inks. CERETAN ® micronized waxes are predominantly produced using our highly advanced spraying technology leading to spherical particles. The spherical shape and the particles’ even surface help the dispersing process, reduce wax usage as well as dust formation. We guarantee D99 values to minimize oversized particles in your formulation.
