Water Repellency

Effect of Wax on Water Repellency

Water repellency or water resistance is another important property obtained or improved with waxes. As the name implies, this characteristic is the protection of a surface against water penetration. Depending on formulation, the protection may be temporary or very durable and long-lasting.

Also, water resistance generally implies the resistance to liquid water, whereas moisture resistance refers to the protection against water in a gaseous or vapor state.

Thanks to this property, wax emulsion is a key ingredient in a wide range of formulation for Wood, Architectural coatings and Floor Polish.
