Why Choose Lawter Waxes & Additives?
Lawter's POLYSPERSE™ waxes offer formulators a unique combination of properties essential for demanding applications:
- Superior Surface Slip & Smoothness: POLYSPERSE™ waxes provide exceptional surface slip characteristics, reducing friction and improving handling and processing of printed materials and coated surfaces.
- Excellent Rub & Scratch Resistance: These micronized waxes enhance surface durability, providing outstanding protection against abrasion, scuffing, and marking during handling, transportation, and end-use.
- Unique Spherical Particle Morphology: Produced via the Fischer-Tropsch process, POLYSPERSE™ features a distinctive spherical particle shape with narrow size distribution, ensuring easy dispersion and uniform performance throughout the formulation.
- Gloss Control & Non-Marking Properties: Provides excellent gloss retention while delivering non-marking surface characteristics, essential for high-quality printed graphics and sensitive applications.
- Low Surface Tension: The linear hydrocarbon structure exhibits low surface tension, promoting excellent wetting and leveling in various coating and ink systems.
