Honeywell ACumist A-18 is a micronized oxidized polyethylene wax powder for coatings and inks, enhancing scratch resistance, surface smoothness, and dispersion in water/solvent systems. Its polarity from oxidation ensures low friction, rheology control, and adjustable gloss (matting at high concentrations).
Enhanced Durability: Improves scratch resistance by 30% in coatings, extending product lifespan
Surface Optimization: Reduces surface roughness by 50% in inks and coatings for superior finish
Dispersion Excellence: Achieves uniform particle distribution (16-19 μm) in water/solvent formulations
Gloss Modulation: Maintains gloss at <1% concentration; acts as matting agent at >5%
Rheology Control: Prevents pigment settling and sagging in high-viscosity coatings
Broad Compatibility: Suitable for water/solvent coatings, inks, and industrial application
Water-Based Coatings: Boosts scratch resistance in architectural/industrial coatings
Solvent-Based Systems: Optimizes flow and wear resistance in automotive/container coatings
Inks: Enhances print quality and abrasion resistance in flexographic/gravure inks
Industrial Coatings: Improves durability in chemical tanks and marine coatings
Specialty Uses: Plastic/rubber modifiers and textile coatings
