MICROSPERSION 235 is a unique micronized polyethylene
wax which has been modified for use in aqueous systems
and formulated into an aqueous wax dispersion at 40% wax
solids. MICROSPERSION 235 allows the formulator
to use a highly efficient micronized wax in liquid form.
MICROSPERSION 235 has been formulated to provide
optimum rub resistance, antiblocking and slip properties
when incorporated into aqueous printing inks, paints
and coatings. The unique properties of MICROSPERSION
235 eliminate the problem of "flotation" or "defoamer
kickout" which is common when using other types of wax
dispersions.
Additions of 1.0% - 4.0%* of MICROSPERSION 235
will provide optimum performance.
MICROSPERSION 235 is recommended for use in
the following areas:
Water reducible 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 folded cartons of paper (Dahlgren,
Epic, etc.); aqueous overprint varnishes.
