Abrasion and scratch resistance: After printing, the wax floats to the surface of the ink film to form a lubricating protective layer; this is one of its most important functions.

Anti-adhesion and Slip: It prevents printed materials from sticking together when stacked and enhances slip, facilitating post-press processes such as cutting and stacking.

Printability: In offset printing, it reduces ink viscosity, effectively minimising paper ‘fuzzing' and ‘powdering', thereby improving printing efficiency.

Scratch Resistance: Particularly suitable for applications requiring high abrasion resistance, such as scratch-off inks used on airline tickets, lottery tickets and other prize-winning scratch-off products.
