Matting Effect of Wax Emulsion
If the particle size of the wax dispersion is much larger than 1 μm, they will significantly reduce gloss by introducing micro-roughness to the coating surface. The resulting uneven surface will cause light scattering.
The degree of micro-roughness depends on the number of wax particles present on the surface, which directly depends on wax properties such as:
* Particle size and particle size distribution* Particle density
* Amount of matting agent incorporated
Due to its matting properties, Qihong Wax Emulsion RG4025 is widely used in various applications such as architecture, wood coatings and inks, OPV and primers.
