Résumé : |
Waxes are increasingly being used as surfactant conditioner additives as they are more economical, reliable and safer.
Among the huge plethora of additives available today, waxes have a significant impact on many formulations or processes. They are cheaper, more reliable and less often associated with side effects even if used in relatively small quantities - typically below 3% solids content of the total composition.
Waxes impart or improve effects as various as slip and lubrification, abrasion resistance, anti-blocking, mating, water repellency ..., all critical properties in the paint, coating and ink areas. As a result waxes are often classified as Surface Conditioner Additives. |
