Replacing PTFE in fine-texture powder coatings requires higher additive dosages, rebalanced formulations and extensive performance validation.

New micronized waxes offer superior surface protection and rub resistance while reducing CO₂ emissions in coatings and inks.

As part of its continued dedication to surface modifier technology innovation, Lubrizol announced the availability of Lanco™ PEW 1556 Micronized Wax.

PTFE is a substance used in all types of coatings to modify total mechanical performance and improve values for scratch resistance and abrasion resistance, while simultaneously lowering surface friction. However, PTFE is a well-known representative of PFAS, which is under increasing global regulation. PTFE-free wax additives are now available, and provide comparable performance with a focus on improving abrasion and scratch resistance.

These micronized innovations are based on renewable raw materials in different particle size distributions that support customers’ ambitions to offer more sustainable solutions to industrial markets without compromising performance.
