Anti-stick Wax Emulsion For Waterborne Wood Coatings

When choosing anti-stick wax emulsion for waterborne wood coatings, the following key factors need to be considered:

1. Characteristics of wax emulsion

Anti-stick property:

The wax emulsion should have good anti-stick properties to prevent the coating from sticking to each other after drying.

When selecting, you can pay attention to the particle size distribution of the wax emulsion. Generally, wax emulsions with moderate particle size and uniform distribution can provide better anti-stick effect.

Abrasion resistance:

The wax emulsion should provide excellent abrasion resistance to protect the wood surface from scratches and wear.

Wax emulsions with good abrasion resistance usually contain high-quality wax components, such as Tianshi polyethylene wax or oxidized polyethylene wax emulsion.

Gloss retention:

The wax emulsion should have good gloss retention to maintain the gloss and appearance of the coating.
Wax emulsions with good gloss retention can help extend the service life of wood coatings.

Compatibility:

Wax emulsions should be compatible with other ingredients of water-based wood coatings to ensure the stability and performance of the coating.

When selecting, a compatibility test can be performed to observe the uniformity and stability of the wax emulsion after mixing with the coating.

2. The amount of wax emulsion added

Appropriate addition:

The amount of wax emulsion added should be determined according to the formulation and performance requirements of the coating.

Excessive addition may lead to a decrease in coating performance, such as reduced gloss and prolonged drying time.

Uniform dispersion:

When adding wax emulsion, ensure that it is evenly dispersed in the coating to avoid agglomeration or precipitation.

The dispersibility of wax emulsions can be improved by stirring, dispersing and other technical means.
