Products in Offset & Lithographic Printing: Polyethylene Waxes

HydroCER 7410 is a 45% aqueous dispersion of medium molecular weight polyethylene wax. The HydroCER products are wax emulsions, dispersions, or a combination of these.

Michem® Emulsion 93335 enhances anti-blocking, slip properties and mar resistance and is used most effectively for wood coatings,inks and overprint varnishes.

Michem® Guard 25 is water based dispersion promotes mar resistance and flatting properties in paint and coating formulations.

Micronized Polyethylene wax

Michem® Emulsion 93235 - A phenol-free additive best used in water-based coatings where improved slip, rub resistance, hardness, or block resistance is needed. It provides effective mar resistance in floor polish formulations, and shine and mar resistance in auto polish formulations.

Michem® Lube 190 - A wax emulsion provides mar, rub, block, and scratch resistance, and improved water resistance in coatings and graphic arts formulations.

PEW-0678AF is suitable for solvent-based coatings and inks. Combined with PTFE, it greatly improves the smoothness, and scratch resistance of the polyethylene wax powder, resulting in a very good synergy. PEW-0678AF has very high hardness, uniform particle size and shape, very concentrated particle size range; very tidy molecular weight, has excellent abrasion resistance, and disperses easily.

PEW-0320 with the features of low viscosity, high softening point, good hardness, and thermal stability, low volatile under high temperature, good dispersion in pigment. It has excellent lubricity, can enhance the productivity of plastic processing. Have good anti-moisture ability under normal temperature, chemical resistance is strong, very good electrical properties, can improve the appearance of finished product.

Optirub™ PC A is a finely micronized, polyethylene and carnauba blend processed to an 8 micron average particle size. Optirub PC A is recommended for applications where gloss retention, clarity, or inter-coat adhesion is important. In addition, Optirub PC A provides an excellent combination of slip, wet scuff, mar and block resistance. Optirub PC A is not recommended for recoating, imprinting, gluing, and die-stamping applications. Recommended usage level is 1 to 3%.

Michem® Guard 7140 - A water-based dispersion provides block, rub, and abrasion resistance, and matting in pigmented and semi-gloss coatings, inks, and overprint varnishes. It also produces smooth satin finishes at a 5-10% addition rate.

CERETAN® ME 1715 is a spherical, micronized non-polar Polyethylene wax.High abrasion and scratch resistance High-melting and hard Improved temperature stability compared to other PE waxes Improved anti-blocking. Applications in Paints and coatings Printing 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.

PEW-0674F has uniform particle size and shape, very concentrated particle size range, and tidy molecular weight, easy to disperse. With very high hardness, and excellent abrasion resistance,

PEW-0200 micronized wax is suitable for solvent-based flexo-printing ink, as well as solvent-based gravure printing ink. It has a great ability in improving the solvent-based inks abrasion resistance, and scratch resistance.PEW-0200 reduces the coefficient of friction of different kinds of ink. In addition, PEW-0200 can also be applied to the field of offset printing ink, paint, coil coating, cosmetics, etc. In powder coating, PEW-0200 can increase powder coating hardness and abrasion resistance. PEW-0200 is economical. It has great adaptability, and can disperses easily.

PEW-0274 has uniform particle size, easy to disperse, is the excellent additive of high performanced coating. PEW-0274 is suitable for offset printing ink, solvent-based flexo printing ink, and solvent-based gravure ink. It can greatly improve the abrasion resistance of solvent-based inks, reduce the friction coefficient of ink, has good adaptability with benzene soluble ink, alcohol soluble Ink and resin soluble ink. Can improve the abrasion resistance and scratch resistance of all kinds of surface coatings, has good transparency, can be used in wood coatings, plastic paints, coil coatings and other areas like this.
