Product Benefits

CRAYVALLAC® TW-1340 is readily dispersed into coating formulations using a variety of techniques.

It also retards the settlement of pigments and assists in their re-dispersion.

The use of pre-dispersed waxes, such as CRAYVALLAC® TW-1340 avoids the inconveniences commonly associated with micronised powders.
Dispersions by nature are also easier and more efficient to incorporate, as they require less intensive processing.

Due to the multitude of formulations, processing methods and application conditions used in the field, we strongly recommend that all products containing CRAYVALLAC® TW-1340 be tested thoroughly to ensure suitability for their intended end use.
