AQUAPOLY 225 is a finely micronized, cost effective,
polyethylene wax which has been modified for easy dispersion
into aqueous systems such as printing inks, paints and
coatings. AQUAPOLY 225 has been processed to a
NPIRI grind gauge reading of 4.0-5.0 for direct incorporation
into aqueous systems using high speed mixing equipment.
Prior compounding or grinding is not necessary in most
cases.
AQUAPOLY 225 has been formulated to provide
excellent rub resistance, anti-blocking and slip properties
when incorporated into aqueous systems. The unique properties
of AQUAPOLY 225 eliminate the problem of "flotation"
or "defoamer kickout" which is common when using most
types of conventional micronized waxes or polyethylenes
in aqueous systems.
Additions of 0.5-2.0% (by weight) will provide optimum
performance. The level of addition will depend on the
end use requirements.
AQUAPOLY 225 is recommended for use in the following
areas:
Flexographic (paper or film), packaging gravure (paper
or carton) and publication gravure printing inks; water
reducible wood finishes, coil coatings, industrial finishes
and latex paints; aqueous coatings for offset printed
folding cartons or paper (Dahlgren, Epic, etc.); aqueous
overprint varnishes and can coatings.
