Glaswax E1 Polyethylene wax Ciba Abrasion Resistance Slip control >> Wax Acrylic/Acrylate Resins Polyester Vinyl Coatings >> Waterborne Architectural / Decorative Wood & Furniture Coatings Water *HQHUDO GLASWAX E1 is a water-based wax formulation, designed to significantly increasing slip and abrasion resistance of water-based inks and coatings. $SSOLFDWLRQV GLASWAX E1 is a water-based wax formulation, designed to significantly increase the slip and abrasion resistance of water-based inks and coatings: · flexographic inks · offset inks · interior wood topcoats · exterior wood topcoats · decorative coatings on cement and concrete · decorative coatings on plastic substrates · decorative coatings on metal substrates GLASWAX E1 mixes easily into water-based systems, but is sensitive to high shear. Consequently, it should be incorporated into the let-down phase where pigment grinding does not occur. GLASWAX E1 has good compatibility with most customary anionic and non-ionic water-based resins. In particular it is compatible with most acrylics, styrene acrylic copolymers, polyesters and rosin modified maleic resins. For optimum compatibility a resin with similar pH should be used. Ciba offers a comprehensive product range of water-based specialty resins for usage as binders in inks and coatings under the trademark GLASCOL. Since any component present in a formulation can have significant impact on the overall coating properties, compatibility and dosage level should always be checked in the actual formulation. 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.
