FLOWAX PE Wax Series for Powder Coatings

FLOWAX-IB is ultra-milled for optimized surface finish, balanced slip, and scratch resistance in standard Polyester TGIC systems. FLOWAX-AU9 is designed for enhanced abrasion resistance and higher surface durability in demanding architectural, automotive, and premium decorative powder coatings.

No — FLOWAX PE wax grades are formulated with controlled particle size and melting profile to ensure surface protection without causing gloss reduction or haze. Post-cure gloss measurements in Polyester TGIC systems confirm equivalent gloss retention compared to reference PE wax formulations.

Typical usage levels are 0.2–1.0% by weight, depending on the resin system, required surface performance, and curing profile. Higher dosages are used for maximum blocking resistance, while lower dosages are preferred where gloss and film transparency are critical.

Yes — FLOWAX PE wax grades are compatible with both corona and tribostatic powder application systems. Their controlled particle size ensures uniform distribution without interfering with charging efficiency or film transfer quality.
