Surface Coating and Mould Release Waxes

  Waxes are commonly used as a 'sacrificial layer' in many surface coatings.  Each particular type of coating has to have the right balance of gloss, buffability, flexibility, toughness and scuff resistance and clarity.  

Furniture, household and shoe polishes

We supply a wide range of waxes for these polishes, such as Carnauba Wax, Montan Wax Substitute, Beeswax, Ceresine and Ozokerite Waxes, Microcrystalline Wax and Paraffin Wax.  We can also supply the ingredients for a fully natural solvent based polish.  

Car wax

We do not manufacture car waxes, but we have an intimate knowledge of the ingredients and what is involved in producing a high quality car polish.  Prime Yellow, also known as Type 1 Carnauba Wax is an obvious primary ingredient.  We can also supply you with other waxes required.  Please call us for more information.   If you’re looking for a product using established surface modifier or coating technology, chances are we have it in stock. If you want something new, we’d like to discuss your needs. Many customer collaborations have resulted in product breakthroughs that still lead their markets today.     From our pioneering start in carnauba and paraffin wax technology, we have continually expanded our capabilities. Innovations over the years have utilized virtually every kind of natural and synthetic wax on the market--including polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene-acrylic acid. Our coatings line also grows constantly as we push the envelope of sustainable packaging technology. Five decades in the wax emulsions/coatings business has built our clear understanding of the issues driving change — and the technology required for innovation. Customers know our quality, responsiveness, technical support and global resources can help them get to market first with new ideas. Most authors recommend the use of wax as a coating on top of a resin film to reduce the gloss of the surface overall or to protect the varnish from dirt. The wax may be removed and replaced if necessary without disturbing the underlying varnish. Wax may be used as a final coating for a paint film that has a rough conformation that was unintended and could not be eliminated by other means. The low luster appearance of the wax would eliminate the highlights on the elevations. Local application may be made with a finger or cloth to matte down overly glossy areas of a varnished painting (proprietary wax mixtures such as Renaissance® Wax may be used for this purpose).   An unscientific survey of painting conservators indicates that wax alone is little used in the field as a separate final surface coating although it continues to be used as a fill material, consolidant, and lining adhesive. It is, however, commonly used as an additive to the final spray coats of many natural and synthetic resins to mat them down or create a more even surface gloss (See individual resin entries under “Additives”). Those of us who occasionally do use waxes alone as a final coating often have a jar of Renaissance® Wax, a proprietary formulation of mixed microcrystalline waxes, that we have used on occasion to matte down or even out already applied varnishes. We all (the individuals in the small unscientific survey) seem to use this product because it is easy to use and performs the limited use task well.
