AQUACER 531 is a non-ionic emulsion of a modified polyethylene wax used as an additive to improve surface properties. AQUACER 531 increases abrasion resistance and improves scratch, slip and block resistance when used in aqueous coatings at recommended levels of 2-5%. The additive forms a protective layer improving durability under pressure and heat. AQUACER 531 is easy to incorporate into formulations with low shear, providing benefits without impacting other properties. It is suitable for applications requiring a long-lasting, scratch-resistant surface.
