How Chemi Tech Wax Powder Enhances Wear Resistance in Industrial Coatings?

In industrial coatings, wear resistance directly determines product longevity and performance stability. Chemi Tech's wax powders, particularly polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) types, significantly improve coating durability through unique molecular design. The mechanism lies in PTFE particles forming a uniform lubricating layer on the coating surface, reducing the friction coefficient by over 40% and minimizing physical damage to substrates.

Key Technical Advantages

Synergistic Improvement in Heat/Wear Resistance

Chemi Tech's PTFE wax powder maintains stable performance from -200°C to 260°C. Tests show Taber abrasion resistance (CS-10 wheel, 500g load) increases by 3 times, alongside enhanced RCA tape test endurance.

Particle Size and Dispersion Optimization

Efficacy relies on precise particle control. Chemi Tech utilizes electron beam (EB) technology to break high-MW PTFE into submicron particles (0.5–5 μm avg.), combined with proprietary dispersants to prevent agglomeration. This process addresses settling and transparency issues in UV coatings.

Self-Smoothing Surface Effect

During curing, wax migrates to form a dense protective film with hydrophobicity and low surface energy, blocking dust penetration. Comparative tests show Chemi Tech-enhanced plastic housings remain scratch-free after 1,000 cleaning cycles.

Industry Applications

3C Electronics: High-gloss coatings for smartphone cases/laptop bases passing 10,000 RCA tests;

Industrial Machinery: Hydraulic component coatings resistant to metal debris;

Automotive Interiors: Fingerprint-proof UV coatings for dashboards.

Chemi Tech innovates by transforming wax powders from "additives" to "functional core materials." Customizable particle distributions (e.g., narrow-dispersion KMR-2012) and surface modification ensure compatibility with diverse resin systems, achieving wear resistance without compromising clarity.
