High Gloss Wax Powder for Coil Coatings WQ-P2201B
WQ-P2201B Micronized PE Wax | Wangqin Chemical
Product Overview
WQ-P2201B is a high-performance micronized polyethylene wax powder (PE wax) developed by Wangqin Chemical to improve the surface performance of coil coatings, solvent-based industrial coatings, and printing inks. Manufactured through advanced processing technology, the product features high crystallinity, uniform particle size distribution, and excellent dispersibility.
As a high gloss wax additive, WQ-P2201B effectively enhances coating surface smoothness while maintaining excellent transparency. It forms a micro-protective layer on the coating surface, which reduces friction and improves scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and anti-marking performance.
Because of its outstanding gloss performance and surface leveling properties, WQ-P2201B is particularly suitable for coil coating formulations that require high gloss and superior surface quality.

Key Features and Benefits
- High Gloss and Smooth Surface: Improves coating surface smoothness and significantly enhances gloss performance.
- Excellent Scratch and Abrasion Resistance: Enhances coating durability by improving resistance to scratches, abrasion, and mechanical wear.
- Anti-Marking and Anti-Re-Sticking: Reduces surface friction and prevents marking or re-sticking of coated surfaces during storage or handling.
- Temperature-Dispersible Performance: Allows efficient dispersion in coating systems during processing.
- Excellent Compatibility: Compatible with many solvent-based coating resins while maintaining high transparency and formulation stability.
Recommended Dosage
Typical addition level: 0.5% - 2.0% of the total formulation
The optimal dosage depends on the formulation system and desired surface performance.
Dispersion Method
For best performance, WQ-P2201B should be dispersed using high-speed mixing or high-shear dispersing equipment in coating and ink systems.
Dispersion efficiency may be affected by:
- Resin type
- Solvent composition
- Formulation viscosity
- Pigment loading
Using appropriate high-speed dispersers or homogenizers ensures uniform distribution and optimal surface modification performance.
