1. Scratch and abrasion resistance
Mechanism: During baking and curing, wax particles migrate to the coating surface, forming a thin, dense protective layer. This wax film possesses a low coefficient of friction and excellent lubricity, effectively reducing surface scratches and wear.
Applications: Widely employed in sectors demanding high surface durability, such as household appliances (e. g. , refrigerator and washing machine panels), aluminium extrusions, outdoor furniture, and automotive components.
2. Enhanced Flow and Hand Feel (Slipperiness Enhancement)
Mechanism: Wax particles suspended on the surface render the coating smoother, not only reducing friction but also imparting a refined, silky-smooth tactile quality.
Application: Products requiring specific tactile properties, such as electronic casings and office furniture.
3. Anti-adhesion (anti-caking)
Mechanism: Micronised wax forms a micro-irregular‘orange peel'texture on the coating surface or provides physical separation. This reduces direct contact areas between coatings or between coatings and other surfaces, preventing adhesion during stacking or transportation.
Applications: Critical for products requiring stacked storage, such as metal sheets and pipes.
