Trecora™ OX-18

Trecora™ OX-18 by Trecora Chemicals is an oxidized polyethylene wax. Provides anti-block, release and gloss control properties. It is easily emulsified. Imparts a non-stick character to a coating that decreases the tendency for blocking. Salt spray resistance of an exterior coating that will be exposed to severe weathering can be improved by adding a barrier enhancing wax. Unwanted transfer or adhesion of coating to a contacted surface is thus prevented. Can aid in the resistance properties of a coating. Can be used to control gloss to achieve a desired matt effect. Trecora™ OX-18 by Trecora Chemicals is used in powder coatings, can coatings, coil coatings and wood/furniture coatings.
