AQUABEAD 525E is a specialized wax emulsion formulated
for aqueous stains, sealers, paints, and coatings. Comprised
of a combination of paraffin and natural waxes, AQUABEAD
525E provides excellent initial and long lasting water
beading as well as weather and moisture resistance. Water
droplets actually roll off most surfaces due to the very
high contact angle.
Levels of addition of AQUABEAD 525E range from
2% to 10% of total formula weight. Usage levels will
be determined by formula solids, vehicle type and end
use requirements.
AQUABEAD 525E is ideally suited for use in latex
emulsion systems and can be easily stirred in using
any type of mixing equipment.
AQUABEAD 525E will remain in a stable suspension
in water based paints, stains, or coatings.
APPLICATIONS:
Aqueous paints, stains and coatings applied over wood,
metal, masonry, pressboard or leather. Water reducible
flexographic and gravure printing inks and coatings.
All ingredients contained in AQUABEAD 525E meet
the requirements of various FDA regulations, including
21 CFR 175.300, 175.320, 176.170, 176.180, and
172.210 which permits its use in citrus food
coating applications.
