Micro Powders offers the most comprehensive portfolio of specialty wax powders, dispersions, and emulsions available in the industry.
We develop multi-functional additives that help formulators solve problems and achieve unique surface effects in inks, paints, coatings, and many other industrial applications at use levels of 1% or less. Our products are proven to provide:
products.
Innovators in Composite Wax Technology
These unique powders bring improved performance, stability, and efficiency not possible by simply mixing two wax powders together. Most of these products have been approved and commercialized to replace PTFE based wax additives, often with superior performance.
The “AL” additive series harnesses the power of aluminum oxide to provide unsurpassed scratch resistance while minimizing the safety, handling, and incorporation issues associated with nanomaterials.
Ceramic additive series waxes achieve maximum abrasion resistance, and our graphene oxide nanocomposite powder can improve the corrosion resistance of powder coatings by up to 50% on both bare and treated steel.
Sustainable Options
Natural, biobased, and biodegradable additive options derived from cellulose, rice bran wax, and carnauba wax are available to deliver benefits including gloss reduction, high heat resistance, matting, burnish resistance, and texturing.
