Product Benefits
  • In general, micronised waxes are best incorporated into coating systems by pre mixing with the binder. Alternatively, waxes 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 it is strongly recommended that all products containing CRAYVALLAC® WF-3200 be tested thoroughly to ensure suitability for their intended end use.
Performance Benefits
  • Excellent slip and lubricity
  • Improves anti-blocking
  • Provides good surface hardness and toughness
  • Improves mar, scratch and abrasion resistance
  • Readily dispersed

CRAYVALLAC® WF-3200 is suitable for use in a wide range of coating applications, and in some cases it offers the formulator additional performance benefits:

  • Printing inks: heat resistance
  • Powder coatings: degassing
  • Metal decorating
  • Can and Coil coatings
  • General industrial coatings
