Wax lotion improves abrasion resistance, smoothness, gloss and scratch resistance of water-based ink film

Wax lotion is a commonly added component of water-based ink. The water-based wax lotion is mainly divided into paraffin lotion, polyethylene wax lotion, carnauba wax lotion; The water-based ink is mainly used for flexographic printing and intaglio printing. According to different requirements, the wax lotion used is different. At the same time, the gloss of water-based ink affects the appearance of the finished product. After the wax lotion is added, the water-based system can not change the resin system, not affect the formula, while giving the ink high gloss, feel, matt, matt and other properties.

The Principle and Effect of Wax lotion to Improve the Gloss of Waterborne Ink

1. Effectively improve the surface properties of water-based coatings and inks after film formation.

2. Used in coatings to improve the water resistance, heat resistance, anti rebound, scratch resistance, and smoothness of the paint film.

3. High resistance to wear and abrasion. And it has a high extinction effect.

The application performance of wax lotion in water-based ink field mainly includes: abrasion resistance, smoothness and scratch resistance. After adding water-based ink, the wax lotion forms film in the water-based system, and drifts to the surface of the film during the process, forming a wax protective layer on the film, reducing the friction coefficient; Improved the wear resistance and smoothness of the coating; It also changes the direction of force on the coating, improves its scratch resistance, and enhances the glossiness of the paint film.
