Cellophane :
Tarwax E can be used as a static reducing and anti block additive in cellophane coatings. At levels of 0.1-0.5% by weight this products will aid rather than interfere with heat-sealing operation.

Paper Coatings :
Tarwax E at approximately 1% improves the slip and gloss of paraffin/polymer coating for paper and paperboard used in food packaging. Because of its high melting point, this product will not decompose during heat-sealing operations.

Hot – melting adhesives :
Tarwax E functions as a co-solvent or coupling agent for the polyamide resin and paraffin wax components of hot melt adhesives. A typical formulation is 78% polyamide resin, 12% paraffin wax & 10% Tarwax E.

Adhesive tape :
To prevent adhesive tape from sticking to itself when it is rolled up, Tarwax E is used to impart antiblock properties which does not reduce the tape’s effectiveness in the final end use.

Asphalts and Potting compounds :
Tarwax E also finds application as component of specialized asphalts used in coating electrical cables (as filters and insulations), blends for electrical potting compounds, mastic heat sealers for condensers and other related uses. Tarwax E will reduce the cold flow of these asphalts , while providing suitable electrical properties, the asphalt’s softening point can be raised approx. 10ºF for each 1% Tarwax E added.

Rubber :
Tarwax E provides antiblock and lubricity properties when used in molding & extrusion of synthetic rubbers such as GRS, ABS, Hycar, Butyl and Neoprene. It also improves water immersion and chemical resistance of rubber stocks.

Dental Waxes :
Tarwax E contributes to the accuracy of immersion and clean release of dental waxes.

Powdered metallurgy :
Tarwax E can be used at 0.5% as a lubricant and molding aid in powdered metal molding. This product burn-offs as well or better than fatty acids and allow for denser compacting of the powdered metal.

Wire Drawing :
Tarwax E can be replace conventional fatty acid soaps as powdered lubricants in wire drawing operations. Its higher melting point allows higher drawing speeds for hard wires.

Lacquers and Coatings :
Tarwax E can be used as pigment grinding aid and dispersant in paints, stains, lacquers and coatings to improve weatherability, resistance to practically all solvents, acids and alkalies. Tarwax E imparts chemical resistance to many types of coatings.

Defoaming Agent :
Tarwax E can be used in pulp paper and textile industries as a defoaming agent when it acts as a foam breaker by reducing the surface tension resulting in collapse of the foam bubbles.

Printing Ink :
Tarwax E finds application in printing ink manufacturing operation as lubricant and slip agent.
