CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000

CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000, with its fine particle size and very low coefficient of friction, provides the formulator with an excellent aid to controlling the frictional characteristics of a coating as well as enhancing its surface protection properties. Furthermore, the very high melting point of CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000 makes it an excellent choice for high temperature applications.

Features & Benefits

CASE Ingredients Features
Product Benefits
  • CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000 may be used in both water-based and solvent-based ink and coating formulations.
  • In these applications CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000 may be used as the sole modifier or in combination with other waxes. CRAYVALLAC® WF- 1000 is readily dispersed into coating formulations using a variety of techniques e.g. high-speed dispersers, bead mills and triple roll mills.
  • In general, micronised powders are best incorporated into coating systems by pre mixing with the binder. Alternatively, they may be added to the formulation immediately following the dispersion stage but prior to the final letdown.
  • Due to the multitude of formulations, processing methods and application conditions used in the field, we strongly recommend that all products containing
  • CRAYVALLAC® WF-1000 be tested thoroughly to ensure suitability for their intended end use.
