We guarantee D99 values to minimize oversized particles in your formulation.

Ultrafine™ 1W A is a polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder used to improve surface properties of printing inks and coatings. Ultrafine 1W A is designed for lubricity, abrasion and heat resistance and may be used in combination with other waxes for the most effective balance of cost and performance. Recommended usage level is 1 to 4%.

Polysperse™ A is a linear hydrocarbon produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process. Polysperse A has a unique spherical morphology and narrow distribution of particles for ease of dispersion and uniformity during processing. Polysperse A exhibits low surface tension, exceptional surface slip and smoothness, rub resistance, gloss, and non-marking properties. Addition levels range from 0.5-3%, depending upon application requirements.

Fine powder polyolefin wax, coated with micro-sized PTFE (Eco coated)

Ultrafine™ 1000 A is a finely micronized polyethylene wax powder recommended when maximum rub and mar resistance, block resistance, slip, re-coatability and elevated processing temperatures are required. The average particle size of Ultrafine 1000 A is 7 microns with a narrow distribution of particle sizes for ease of dispersion and uniformity during processing. Addition levels range from 0.5 to 3%, depending upon application requirements.

Fine powder, polyolefin wax, coated with micro-sized PTFE (Spot coated)

ADD-3236 is a silicone surface additive with defoaming properties to improve the surface properties of coatings, with particular emphasis upon leveling, it increases surface slip and thus improves scratch and mar- resistance. ADD-3236 is a heat resistant due to the alkyl-modification, which shows no thermal decomposition at high temperatures in baking systems such as coil coatings (up to 280°C for 15 minutes).

Fine powder, polyolefin wax, fully coated with micro-sized PTFE

Optirub™ SP1 A is a finely, micronized blend of tough polyethylene wax and premium grade PTFE. Optirub SP1 A is processed to a 6 micron average particle size and formulated to give a high degree of surface lubricity and rub resistance in inks and coatings. Addition levels range from 0.5 to 3%, depending upon application requirements.

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.

Optirub™ OP A is a micronized, oxidized polyethylene that easily disperses into aqueous systems.
