Advanced Wax Additives for Adhesives & Sealants: Anti-Blocking, Slip & Rheology Control

2025-08-01   Pageview:110

Why Wax is a Game-Changer in Adhesive Performance

In industrial and consumer adhesives, including hot melt, pressure-sensitive, and PU-based systems, wax additives solve multiple performance and processing challenges. They reduce blocking, modify open time, enhance slip, and help control melt viscosity—without affecting bond strength.

If your adhesives stick where they shouldn’t, dry too fast, or flow poorly—our waxes are the missing link.

Core Benefits in Adhesive Formulations

🔹 Anti-Blocking Effect
Waxes create a low-friction surface that prevents glue layers from sticking to each other during storage or handling—critical for hot melt sticks, PSA rolls, and labels.

🔹 Slip and Surface Feel
In packaging and automotive adhesives, waxes enhance glide and smoothness, improving overall user experience and production flow.

🔹 Controlled Rheology
Functional waxes can tune melt viscosity and prevent stringing or dripping, offering better control during application.

🔹 Open Time Adjustment
Waxes act as physical modifiers to fine-tune the open time of fast-drying adhesives.

Applicable Formulations

  • Hot melt adhesives (HMA)

  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)

  • Polyurethane reactive (PUR) adhesives

  • Water-based sealants (acrylic, SBR, PU dispersion)

Recommended Wax Types

Wax Type Target System Primary Function
