Aquawax 214 is a special grade of synthetic wax micronized
to a NPIRI grind gauge reading of 4.0 - 5.0. Aquawax
214 can be easily incorporated into water based systems
with high speed dispersion equipment. Aquawax 214
has been formulated to reduce or eliminate wax defoamer
kick-out and improve dispersion stability in aqueous coatings
and inks.
Aquawax 214 is a lower cost alternative to the
more expensive micronized polyethylene waxes and will
impart a higher degree of lubricity and lower COF readings
as well as excellent rub resistance. Usage levels of
0.5 - 1.5% based on total formula weight will impart
optimum properties.
Specific areas of use are: water reducible flexographic
and carton inks; water reducible stains and paints;
water reducible coatings. Incorporation may be made
directly into the system before let-down or a stable
compound (pre-dispersion) can be prepared for post addition.
