FLOWAX C (EBS Wax) for Powder Coatings

Yes — in both Epoxy-Polyester hybrid decorative and Polyester TGIC appliance powder coatings, FLOWAX-C delivers improved scratch and mar resistance compared to conventional EBS wax references, with consistent surface slip and smoother film appearance while maintaining equivalent gloss retention.

Yes — FLOWAX-C is compatible with Epoxy, Epoxy-Polyester Hybrid, Polyester TGIC, and general industrial powder coating systems. Guideline formulations demonstrate effective performance across all three major coating types, with consistent results in powder flow, surface slip, and blocking resistance.

Typical usage levels are 0.3–1.5% by weight, depending on the powder system and required surface performance. Decorative and appliance systems use 0.3–0.5% for balanced slip and flow, while industrial and anti-blocking formulations may use up to 1.5% for maximum blocking resistance under demanding storage conditions.

The amide group polarity of EBS wax promotes surface interaction with polar pigment particles during melt-mixing in the twin-screw extruder, improving pigment wetting, dispersion uniformity, and color consistency in the final cured powder coating film — an advantage not available with non-polar PE wax grades.
