Heat-Resistant Wax Additives for Metal Decorating Inks

2025-08-14   Pageview:13

Metal decorating inks are exposed to high curing temperatures and post-processing conditions such as pasteurization or sterilization. Wax additives can significantly improve slip, reduce scratching, and enhance heat resistance, ensuring print integrity in demanding environments.

Key Advantages

  • Heat Resistance: Maintains performance and appearance during high-temperature processes.

  • Slip Improvement: Prevents surface sticking and scratching during stacking or transport.

  • Durability: Enhances print life, even in challenging storage conditions.

Technical Insight

Oxidized polyethylene wax is particularly effective in metal decorating inks, providing both heat stability and a smooth surface. Product selection should be based on ink resin compatibility and post-printing processes.

A beverage can manufacturer adopted a heat-resistant wax additive, achieving fewer surface defects and improved stackability in their metal-printed cans.
