Processing Information
  • CRAYVALLAC WN-1220 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 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, we strongly recommend that all products containing CRAYVALLAC WN-1220 be tested thoroughly to ensure suitability for their intended end use.
