Glaswax® E1

Aqueous emulsion based on a medium melting point polyethylene wax, designed to significantly increasing slip and abrasion resistance of water-based coatings. Can be used for interior wood topcoats, exterior wood topcoats, decorative coatings on cement and concrete, decorative coatings on plastic substrates, decorative coatings on metal substrates. Mixes easily into water-based systems, but is sensitive to high shear. Has good compatibility with most customary anionic and non-ionic water-based resins. Compatible with most acrylics, styrene acrylic copolymers, polyesters and rosin modified maleic resins. For optimum compatibility a resin with similar pH should be used. Recommended usage level: 1.0 - 5.0% based on pigment weight. Should be incorporated into the let-down phase where pigment grinding does not occur.
