Which
products will lower the gloss the best in my system?
Our
Micropro and Micromatte line of micronized waxes
are designed to lower the gloss in many different
systems. Their advantage is that they will not
settle out and have a very low demand for vehicle
so they won't raise the viscosity.

How
do I choose an offset to the wax I currently use?
The
best way to choose an offset is to do it by identifying
the properties you need and then picking a wax
from our applications chart. You may find that
the recommended MPI wax is less expensive. If
you can only use a direct offset, it is best to
contact us
directly.
