Ceridust 3910 Amide wax Clariant Abrasion Resistance Slip control >> Wax Coatings >> Powder Coatings Ceridust 3910 is an especially finegrain micropowder based on amide wax; it can be processed with ease due to its small particle size. Both wax micropowders exhibit slip which is advantageous in deformation and sanding work. For aqueous systems, it is advisable to stir Ceridust 9615 A and Ceridust 3910 first into a water/alcohol mixture so that more intensive wetting occurs. Ceridust 3910 Ceridust 3910 has very fine particles. It can be stirred slowly direct into the paint system (normally 1% to 2%). The stirring time should be at least 10 minutes. Subsequent thickening of such dispersions may occur. In this case the viscosity can be lowered by stirring again thoroughly. Amide wax. Acts as a degassing agent and permits the benzoin concentration to be reduced in many applications. Due to its high, relatively sharp drop point of 140 °C this wax remains very finely distributed as a discrete particle in the powder coating during and after the extrusion process. This temperature is exceeded in the stoving process, so the amide wax melts; its very low melting viscosity (10 mPas at 150 °C) results in the formation of capillaries through which entrapped air can escape before the powder coating is cured.
