Common questions about PE Waxes in paints & coatings applications
During curing, FLOWAX PE wax particles migrate to the powder coating surface in a controlled manner, forming a thin lubricating micro-layer. This layer reduces surface friction, prevents scratch and mar damage, imparts anti-blocking behavior, and improves surface slip — without negatively affecting gloss or film integrity.
FLOWAX-IB is ultra-milled for optimized surface finish, balanced slip, and scratch resistance in standard Polyester TGIC systems. FLOWAX-AU9 is designed for enhanced abrasion resistance and higher surface durability in demanding architectural, automotive, and premium decorative powder coatings.
No — FLOWAX PE wax grades are formulated with controlled particle size and melting profile to ensure surface protection without causing gloss reduction or haze. Post-cure gloss measurements in Polyester TGIC systems confirm equivalent gloss retention compared to reference PE wax formulations.
Typical usage levels are 0.2–1.0% by weight, depending on the resin system, required surface performance, and curing profile. Higher dosages are used for maximum blocking resistance, while lower dosages are preferred where gloss and film transparency are critical.
Yes — FLOWAX PE wax grades are compatible with both corona and tribostatic powder application systems. Their controlled particle size ensures uniform distribution without interfering with charging efficiency or film transfer quality.
