DEUREX H 9122 M

DEUREX H 9122 M is a micronized hybrid wax based on Fischer-Tropsch wax and polyethylene wax. Its combination of different wax components provides a targeted range of surface properties: short-chain polyethylene waxes optimize adhesion and flexibility as well as UV resistance. Long-chain Fischer-Tropsch waxes increase scratch and abrasion resistance, while high-melting polyolefin waxes enhance the temperature resistance and hydrophilicity of the surface. The white wax powder also improves chemical and weather resistance as well as anti-blocking properties.

The hybrid wax is suitable for paints and coatings, including liquid, powder, can and UV coatings. Further applications include gravure, flexographic and offset printing inks as well as radiation-curing systems. Fast and effective processing, lower process temperatures and reduced energy consumption can help lower manufacturing costs. The micronized powder has a particle size of 98% below 22 µm, with a typical value of 50% at approximately 8 µm. Food-contact approvals are available for DEUREX H 9122 M.
