MICROSPERSION 501 is a unique aqueous dispersion
of a finely micronized combination of Polyethylene and
PTFE polymers combined with emulsified waxes which have
been dispersed at 35% wax solids. MICROSPERSION 501
allows the formulator to use highly efficient and carefully
controlled micronized waxes in a liquid easy to add form.
MICROSPERSION 501 has been formulated to provide
a combination of optimum rub resistance, slip and hardness
associated with micronized Polyethylene/PTFE combinations,
along with the gloss retention provided by wax emulsions.
MICROSPERSION 501 has been found especially useful
in high gloss waterbased OPV's where increased slip
properties as well as heat resistance are required.
The unique properties of MICROSPERSION 501 eliminate
the problems of "flotation" or "defoamer kickout" which
is common when using other types of waxes in aqueous
systems. Each of the components are designed to provide
properties for maximum performance when incorporated
into high gloss printing inks, paints and coatings.
Additions of 1.0 - 5.0% (by weight) of MICROSPERSION
501 will provide optimum performance.
MICROSPERSION 501 is recommended for use in
the following areas: water based flexographic and gravure
printing inks, can coatings, industrial paints and finishes
and all types of water reducible overprint varnishes
and topcoats.
