Application effect of wax lotion in agricultural seed film

The wax lotion is matched with the resin. According to the wax drift theory, the wax lotion can be transferred to the top layer of the paint film in different product formulations, so that the paint film has smoothness, toughness and hardness, adhesion, and high gloss. It can act as a coating agent in the field of agricultural seeds. After the seeds are coated, it can play the role of insecticides, hormones, growth regulators, beneficial microorganisms, and so on. The wax lotion used is food grade, safe and harmless to seeds, does not affect the development of seeds, and long-term use does not affect the soil. The film formed by wax lotion can be slowly degraded and broken in the soil containing water environment, which is suitable for drug release.

Wax lotion is a water-based environmental protection functional auxiliary. It is solvent free and has low odor, which meets the requirements of green agriculture development. It has good compatibility and fast drying speed. Wax lotion with hard wax (such as carnauba wax, paraffin wax, polypropylene and other synthetic waxes) can effectively improve the abrasion resistance and fluidity of seeds, and improve the overall surface protection effect of seed coating agent on seeds. Emulsified wax has inert physical and chemical properties, which basically do not affect the active ingredients in seed coating agents and the breathability of seeds. Wax lotion can be regarded as a micron sized small molecular weight filler, distributed as a dispersed phase in the system, and tightly attached to the surface of the seeds after drying. Because of its good viscosity resistance, it can solve the problem of caking easily occurred in the storage of some seeds with high water rate. During seed dressing, adding wax lotion seed coating agent can significantly improve the gloss of the seed surface. Selecting wax lotion with different particle sizes can adjust the surface gloss of the seeds, and improve the appearance of the seeds.
