Wax Additives

CERAFLOUR is the main brand for BYKs micronized wax additives and micronized wax-like polymers. Wax additives have many areas of application. They can be used, for example, to control the processability of products or to improve the properties of surfaces. Waxes can be of a natural, semisynthetic or synthetic origin. The fundamental properties are derived from the chemical basis, the melting point and the polarity of a wax. Modifications and the subsequent manufacturing methods also influence the end properties. Micronized wax additives are products in powder form with an average particle size between 4 μm and 15 μm. Special types for creating textured surfaces can have particle sizes up to 90 μm.

CERAMAT is BYKs range of wax dispersions with matting properties in non-polar organic solvents Wax additives have many areas of application. They can be used, for example, to control the processability of products or to improve the properties of surfaces. Waxes can be of a natural, semisynthetic or synthetic origin. The fundamental properties are derived from the chemical basis, the melting point and the polarity of a wax. CERAMAT wax additives improves scratch resistance and can create a matting and soft-feel effect in solvent-borne coatings and also reduces settling. They are recommended for architectural coatings, wood coatings, industrial coatings and protective coatings. In leather coatings it also improves anti-blocking, matting, and the soft-feel effect.
