Common questions about FT Waxes in paints & coatings applications
FT waxes have higher crystallinity, narrower molecular weight distribution, and higher melting points than PE waxes, delivering superior surface hardness, better thermal stability under high-temperature cure conditions, and greater wear resistance — making them the preferred choice for demanding industrial and outdoor durable powder coatings.
FLOWAX-H1G (hard FT wax) provides maximum surface hardness and superior scratch, abrasion, and blocking resistance in super-durable Polyester HAA systems — outperforming standard FT wax references in both surface hardness and long-term outdoor durability support, while maintaining equivalent gloss retention.
Yes — FT waxes' high melting points ensure stable performance under standard industrial powder curing conditions (180–210°C), maintaining their surface lubrication function and migration behavior even at high-temperature cure profiles used in industrial and automotive powder coatings.
Typical usage levels are 0.3–1.0% by weight. FLOWAX-IW and FLOWAX-MJ22 are effective at 0.3% for standard surface protection, while FLOWAX-H1G may be used at slightly higher levels for maximum hardness and abrasion resistance in demanding applications.
Yes — combining FLOWAX FT wax with FLOWAX PTFE provides a synergistic performance effect: FT wax contributes surface hardness and abrasion resistance, while PTFE adds ultra-low friction and superior anti-blocking performance, suitable for extreme-duty industrial and automotive powder coatings.
