Waxes for Use in Paints and Coatings


IGI waxes offer versatility in enhancing various paint and industrial coating systems:

  • Waxes play a crucial role in modifying film and rheology properties in paints.
  • Paraffin waxes are beneficial in paint stripper formulas to prevent solvent volatilization.
  • Due to their natural hydrophobic nature, waxes are ideal for rust-preventative and structural coatings.
  • The low viscosity of waxes facilitates efficient blending, especially in structural/architectural coatings.
  • Slack waxes can be a cost-effective option for applications where component costs are a concern.
