MICROMIDE 528 is a finely micronized EBS wax designed
to impart maximum lubricity (COF) and blocking resistance
in printing ink, paint or coating applications.
MICROMIDE 528 is finely micronized to a NPIRI
grind of 2.0-3.0 for ease of dispersion. MICROMIDE
528 was developed to meet the needs of the formulator
requiring excellent release and lubricity properties
without incurring the expense or settling characteristics
of PTFE.
MICROMIDE 528 will impart an excellent "feel"
when incorporated into wood or plastic coatings while
maintaining excellent blocking resistance. It will also
reduce the dust buildup on sanding belts and effectively
increase longevity when used in sanding sealers. MICROMIDE
528 will exhibit excellent solvent resistance and
will not effect drying rates of air dry systems. Unlike
other wax additives for sanding sealers, MICROMIDE
528 can be easily incorporated using simple dispersion
equipment without the need for grinding. MICROMIDE
528 can also be utilized as a finely micronized
synthetic lubricant for powdered metals. The particle
size is carefully controlled by laser diffraction analysis
which gives a better particle uniformity than spray
micronized EBS lubricants.
Optimum usage levels range between 0.5 and 3.0% based
on total formula weight.
MICROMIDE 528 has a high melt point to provide
extra heat resistance while imparting slip. MICROMIDE
528 is not a dry blend of waxes but a homogeneous
product in order to eliminate separation or settling
in low viscosity systems.
