SYNTRAN® WE1401 is an ethylene copolymer emulsion especially designed for use in surface care and surface coating applications.
SYNTRAN® WE1401 is an emulsion of a hard and high melting polyethylene wax. This wax emulsion can be combined with all known water-based polymer dispersions and the additives used in our standard formulations. The hardness of the product gives excellent scuff and black heel mark resistance.
In water-based lacquers, printing inks and overprint varnishes, the abrasion resistance and anti-blocking properties are improved significantly.
Applications
Key application areas are as follows:
- Floor polishes
- Leather polishes and finishes
- Water-based lacquers
- Printing inks and overprint varnishes
Benefits
Key benefits are as follows:
- Very good abrasion resistance
- Excellent scuff and black heel mark resistance in high traffic areas
- Very good compatibility with most water-based acrylic polymers
- Works as well as a single component or in combination with other synthetic wax emulsions
