Q1: What is the primary function of Lubrizol Lanco Wax powder in coatings and inks?
A: Lubrizol Lanco Wax powder is primarily used to enhance surface slip, abrasion resistance, and matting performance in solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable coatings and inks. It functions by migrating to the film surface during drying or curing, forming a protective, low-friction layer.
Q2: How does this wax powder differ from micronized polyethylene or PTFE waxes?
A: Lubrizol Lanco Wax powder is a proprietary blend formulated for balanced compatibility and controlled surface migration. Unlike standard PE or PTFE waxes, it offers improved dispersibility in polar systems and more predictable matting and anti-blocking behavior without excessive hazing or gloss reduction.
Q3: What are recommended dispersion methods for optimal performance?
A: For best results, pre-disperse Lubrizol Lanco Wax powder using high-shear mixing or bead milling in the liquid phase prior to adding other components. Avoid dry blending with pigments or fillers, as it may compromise uniform distribution and surface effects.
Q4: Is this product suitable for food-contact coatings?
A: Lubrizol Lanco Wax powder is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact applications. Formulators must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and compliance verification—based on the final cured coating system and intended use conditions.
