Product Description
MaxWAX® 12 is a micronized high density oxidized polyethylene wax.
Application
MaxWAX® 12 is easily dispersible in water-based systems with moderate mixing to avoid foam generation. MaxWAX® 12 imparts good rub and slip in water based flexographic and gravure inks and coatings. With its high melting profile, it is suitable for use in aqueous coil and general industrial coatings to provide superior scuff and burnish resistance, increased abrasion performance and anti-blocking characteristics. It is also used in the coatings on crown caps for easy release.
