POLYWAX™
The combination of controlled branching and low MW distribution and low melt point distribution inherent to the POLYWAX™ copolymers provides many attractive benefits for formulators.
NuCera Solutions R&D and Applications team takes a deep dive into your processes and creates new solutions to solve challenging applications. With over 85 years of experience, we help customers in a broad range of markets meet their challenges with innovative solutions.
NuCera's POLYWAX line, featuring POLYWAX 655 and POLYWAX 655 T10, revolutionizes coatings with its linearity and high crystallinity, enhancing slip, chemical resistance, and heat stability. Ideal for a range of applications including industrial coatings and inks, these products boast higher rub resistance for improved appearance and ease of cleaning, alongside scratch resistance and a matting effect. With FDA indirect food contact approval and well-defined melt points, the POLYWAX line ensures superior performance and control for formulators.
The POLYWAX EP COPOLYMERS extend NuCera's range, offering a softer, more flexible alternative with controlled propylene branches. These copolymers are designed for applications needing enhanced flexibility, featuring a lower melt point and increased hydrocarbon solubility. Ideal for plastic masterbatch and processing, the POLYWAX EP COPOLYMERS enhance melt viscosity, providing a versatile solution for the specialty chemical distribution market.
Industries
Coatings
NuCera waxes are the key to coatings that go on smooth and last longer. You can count on the high purity and on-purpose production quality to enable the following in industrial, waterproofing, inks & can coatings:
- Linearity & high crystallinity for improved slip, high chemical resistance, and excellent heat stability.
- Higher Rub resistance for better appearance and easy cleanability in ink systems.
- Improved scratch resistance & reduced mar, along with a matting effect
- Products which are FDA indirect food contact approved
- More control for formulators due to well defined melt points
