Micropro
500
MICROPRO 500 is a finely micronized, modified polypropylene
wax which is characterized by its high melt point and
solubility resistance along with ease of dispersion in
both polar and non-polar systems.
MICROPRO 500 is formulated from harder and higher
molecular weight polymers in order to provide improved
mar and rub resistance when compared to the lower melt
point and more soluble synthetic and polyethylene waxes.
The main characteristics of MICROPRO 500 include:
- micronized to a 7.0-9.0 micron mean particle size
for easy dispersion with a high speed mixer; eliminates
the need for grinding or melting.
- high melt point and molecular weight.
- resists solvent absorption and particle swelling
in aromatic solvents due to its high degree of insolubility.
- improved mar, scratch, and metal marking resistance.
- optimum burnishing or polishing resistance when
used in low or medium gloss finishes.
- excellent anti-blocking effect in roll or stacking
operations.
APPLICATION AND USE LEVELS: Addition of MICROPRO
500 levels of 0.5% to 2.0% (based on total formula
weight) will impart optimum resistance to mar and abrasion
in paints, printing inks, and coatings. At levels of
2.0% to 5.0%, MICROPRO 500 becomes a very efficient
matting agent that stays in suspension, resists burnishing,
and will not lose its effect over an extended period
of time. When MICROPRO 500 is used in conjunction
with silica flatting additives, its low density helps
to keep the additives in suspension and will improve
metal marking resistance.
