Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In actual production and formulation applications, how to efficiently use Texture Powder Additive and Micronized Wax Additive is key to ensuring product quality. The technical team at Suzhou Qingtian New Material Co., Ltd. has compiled the following answers based on years of customer service experience:

Why does obvious sedimentation occur after adding Texture Powder Additive to the formulation?

A: Texture powders usually have a large particle size and a density difference with the liquid resin system. If the system viscosity is low, particles settle easily.

• Solution: It is recommended to use high-efficiency anti-settling agents or bentonite rheological additives produced by Suzhou Qingtian New Material Co., Ltd. to support large powder particles by building a weak thixotropic structure, ensuring storage stability.

How to choose the right Micronized Wax Additive to improve anti-blocking properties?

A: Anti-blocking performance primarily depends on the melting point and hardness of the wax.

• Parameter Suggestion: For workpieces that need to be stacked at high temperatures, it is recommended to select Micronized Polypropylene Wax (PP Wax) with a melting point above 140 Celsius. High hardness and high melting point ensure that the surface wax film does not stick or fail when the coating is subjected to pressure or environmental temperature rise.

Does Texture Powder Additive affect inter-layer adhesion?

A: This is a common concern. Excessive addition or the use of additives with extremely low surface tension may indeed affect the recoatability of subsequent layers.

• Suzhou Qingtian Suggestion: Our Texture Powder Additive undergoes special surface modification to maintain good wettability while providing texture effects. It is generally recommended to control the dosage between 5% - 10% and perform cross-cut adhesion tests.

Can wax powder and texture powder be added directly to the production tank for stirring?

A: For Texture Powder Additive, which has a large particle size, it can usually be uniformly dispersed under medium to low-speed stirring. For Micronized Wax Additive, due to its extremely fine particle size and large specific surface area, direct addition may lead to insufficient wetting and clump formation.

• Best Practice: Suzhou Qingtian New Material Co., Ltd. recommends first using part of the solvent or resin to make a pre-dispersed paste with a 20% - 30% concentration of micronized wax, then adding it to the final system to achieve the best surface slip effect.
