Paraffin Emulsion

Below we detail its main uses in various industries:

Textile

It is incorporated into fabrics to improve their water and oil resistance, resulting in waterproof and easy-to-clean textiles.

Additionally, its application allows for friction control between the fibers, resulting in softer and more comfortable fabrics to wear.

In sewing environments, the paraffin emulsion acts as a slipping agent that facilitates cutting and sewing of fabrics. Thus, it helps to improve production efficiency.

Concrete

When added to concrete, the paraffin emulsion acts as a water absorption reducing agent. This reduces the formation of cracks and fissures that can damage structures, resulting in greater durability of the material.

Moreover, the paraffin emulsion enhances the wear resistance of concrete, making it especially useful in paving applications.

Paints

In the formulation of paints, the 60% paraffin emulsion is used as a rheological modifier, meaning it controls the viscosity and flowability of the paint.

This allows manufacturers to adjust the consistency of their products to facilitate paint application and enhance the final user’s experience.

Furthermore, the paraffin emulsion contributes to the water resistance and durability of the paint, which is essential for outdoor applications.

Inks

In the ink industry, Emul PF 60 offers significant improvements. Its incorporation into ink formulations allows for uniform distribution over the substrate, improving print quality.

This is essential in high-quality printing applications, such as those used in packaging and labels. Additionally, the paraffin emulsion enhances water resistance and ink adhesion to ensure long-lasting, high-quality prints.
