Application of Oxidized Polyethylene Wax in Waterborne Coatings

Application of Oxidized Polyethylene Wax in Waterborne Coatings. The so-called waterborne coating refers to a type of coating that uses water as a solvent or dispersion medium. It has a wide range of applications, such as interior and exterior wall coatings, metal paints, etc.

Advantages of waterborne coatings:

1. Use water as solvent with only a small amount of low-toxic alcohol ether organic solvents, ensuring safety, environmental friendliness, resource conservation, reduced pollution, and improved working environment.
2. Can be directly applied in humid environments.
3. Good adaptability to material surfaces and strong coating adhesion.
4. Coating tools can be cleaned with water.
5. Uniform electrophoretic coating and convenient construction.

Oxidized polyethylene wax is a polar wax with certain functional groups on the molecular chain, so its compatibility with polar resins is significantly improved. When used in waterborne coatings, oxidized polyethylene wax provides excellent friction resistance, anti-blocking, and rub resistance, and can serve as a dispersant and anti-rub agent for waterborne coatings.
