MICROSPERSION 411 is a unique dispersion of micronized
polyethylene wax and PTFE which has been dispersed at
25% into an acrylic vehicle. No dispersants have been
used in order to provide a trouble free, pourable wax
dispersion. MICROSPERSION 411 allows the formulator
to use highly efficient micronized waxes in liquid form.
MICROSPERSION 411 has been formulated as a high
performance additive for maximum lubricity and gloss
retention when incorporated into aqueous systems. The
combination of PE/PTFE is designed for increased heat
resistance and slip at minimum load levels. The unique
properties of MICROSPERSION 411 eliminates the
problem of "flotation" or "defoamer kickout" which is
common when using other types of waxes.
Additions of 2.0 - 6.0% (by weight) of MICROSPERSION
411 will provide optimum performance.
MICROSPERSION 411 can be used in all types of
printing inks, paints and coatings. However, this product
is especially 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;
aqueous coatings for two piece cans and folding cartons.
