Aquacer® 513

1 of 19 products in this brand
Aquacer® 513 is an HDPE-based, VOC-free wax emulsion designed to enhance surface protection in aqueous coatings, printing inks, care products, and polishes. It provides good surface protection, abrasion resistance, and dirt pickup resistance, while offering superior polishing efficiency. Suitable for use in waterborne coatings and printing inks, it is compatible with substrates like marble and granite. This product functions as a surface modifier and is part of the polyethylene waxes and polyolefins chemical families.

Key Features

The additive improves the scratch resistance in aqueous coatings. It increases the abrasion resistance in printing inks, as well as the resistance to black heel marking in parquet coatings.

Aquacer® 513 is compatible with all known polymer dispersions, resin solutions, plasticizers, film-forming agents and surfactants. The wax emulsion exhibits good polishability and dirt repulsion. These characteristics are brought out by blending Aquacer® 513 with polymers in a 3:1 ratio (solid wax on solid polymer). A mixing ratio of 1:6 increases the water- and alcohol-resistance, the abrasion resistance, and protection against heel marks (= foot traffic resistance).
