Bio-based waxes play a vital role in various industrial applications, offering unique properties that enhance the performance and durability of products. Shamrock Technologies is your premier source for high-quality bio-based wax additives, providing a wide range of waxes designed to meet specific industry needs. Our expertise in developing these additives ensures optimal results for your projects, no matter the application.

Types of Bio-Based Waxes

Bio-based waxes come in different forms, each with specific characteristics suited to particular applications. At Shamrock Technologies, we offer natural wax additives that are essential in improving the performance and longevity of inks and coatings.

One popular type of bio-based wax is carnauba wax, derived from the leaves of the carnauba palm. Known for its hardness and high melting point, carnauba wax is often used in applications that require enhanced durability and a glossy finish. It is particularly effective in coil and wood coatings, where it improves abrasion- and scratch-resistance while enhancing surface properties.

Applications of Bio-Based Wax Additives

Bio-based wax additives are highly versatile, finding applications across various industries such as coatings, inks, and printing. In wood coatings, wax additives like carnauba wax not only enhance the visual appeal but also increase durability by improving resistance to scratches and abrasions. Coil coatings benefit from the addition of bio-based waxes by gaining anti-blocking and anti-scratch properties, which are essential for maintaining surface integrity under demanding conditions.

In UV inks, bio-based wax additives such as soy wax enhance performance in UV-cured systems, ensuring the inks cure properly and retain their vibrancy. For digital printing inks, bio-based waxes provide essential rub-resistance, protecting printed surfaces from wear and tear without compromising on gloss or finish.

Bio-based waxes are integral in enhancing the performance and durability of various products. By choosing the right type of bio-based wax, industries can optimize their processes and achieve superior outcomes.
