Wax Emulsion (Paper Water-Resistance Grade)
CAS Number: 8002-74-2
Paraffin wax emulsion for paper applications provides water repellency, moisture resistance, and reduced friction to paper and board surfaces when applied at the size press or by surface coating. It forms a hydrophobic wax film on paper that reduces water absorption and improves the slip and release characteristics of packaging papers. Wax emulsions are also used as internal sizing agents and as coating additives in corrugated and packaging board.
