Micronized Wax for Waterborne Epoxy Coatings: Improving Scratch & Stain Resistance

Waterbased epoxy coatings are increasingly used in industrial and architectural settings. However, their abrasion and stain resistance often lag behind solvent-based systems. Micronized wax additives provide a powerful solution to boost these properties without compromising gloss or film clarity.

Key Benefits

• Scratch Resistance: Forms a tough micro-barrier on the coating surface.

• Stain Repellency: Repels oil, coffee, and chemical stains.

• Matting Effect: Enables gloss tuning without silica or fillers.

Recommended Grades

• HDPE wax (D50 ~ 5 μm): For stain blocking

• PTFE-modified wax: For maximum slip

• PP/PE blend wax: Balanced anti-scratch/matting
