In modern water-based coating systems, water-based printing inks, water-based silicone inks, and water-based screen printing pastes, achieving excellent scratch resistance and a smooth feel while maintaining superior compatibility and system stability has always been a core challenge for formulators.

Tianjin Ruikel Chemical Co., Ltd. introduces R3982 Super-Hydrophilic Wax Powder (also known as S-3982), tailored specifically for a wide variety of water-based systems. It not only significantly improves surface smoothness and abrasion resistance but also integrates seamlessly into water-based formulations, eliminating common pain points such as floating, settling, or poor compatibility associated with traditional wax powders.

1. R3982 Core Technical Specifications & Physical Properties

To accommodate high-standard water-based industrial and printing systems, R3982 is precisely engineered in terms of particle size distribution, melting point, and hardness:

2. Key Performance Advantages

1. Significantly Improves Surface Smoothness & Feel:

   Imparts a silky, delicate surface touch to water-based paint films and inks while drastically lowering the apparent coefficient of friction.

2. Outstanding Abrasion & Scratch Resistance:

   The synergy of high hardness (<1 dmm) and optimized nano/micro-particle size greatly boosts the scratch and wear resistance of final products.

3. Excellent Anti-Blocking Properties:

   Effectively prevents water-based coatings or printed substrates from sticking or blocking during rolling, coiling, or stacking.

4. Superior Formulation Compatibility:

   Specially optimized for water-based systems, showing exceptional compatibility and stability with various water-based resins and emulsions without impairing clarity or recoatability.

3. Recommended Applications & Usage Guidelines

A. Primary Application Fields

• Various water-based coating systems

• Water-based printing inks

• Water-based silicone inks

• Water-based screen printing pastes

B. Recommended Dosage & Usage

• Recommended Dosage: Generally ranges from 0.5%- 2% of the total formulation weight across different systems.

• High-Efficiency Dispersion Tip:

  To reduce dispersion time and boost production efficiency, it is recommended to pre-disperse the wax powder using water or alcohol-ether solvents to prepare a 20% - 30% wax slurry, which can then be added directly into the system as required.

4. Summary & Sample Requests

If you are looking for a high-performance wax powder that seamlessly fits water-based systems while delivering high smoothness, abrasion resistance, and anti-blocking properties, Ruikel Chemical's R3982 Super-Hydrophilic Wax Powder provides an economical and efficient solution.
