Lubrizol introduces Lanco™ PEW 1556 Micronized Wax to Enhance Surface Protection of Water-Based Wood Coatings

Cleveland, Ohio –  As part of its continued dedication to surface modifier technology innovation, Lubrizol announces the availability of Lanco™ PEW 1556 Micronized Wax.

Lanco PEW 1556 Micronized Wax is engineered to deliver a range of aesthetic and protective benefits for water-based wood coating systems, allowing formulators to transition from solvent-based systems while maintaining excellent resistance to slip, scratch, and abrasion. This new wax additive provides uniform and efficient matting, clarity, slip and soft feel – enabling control over gloss to achieve desired appearance, while preserving the natural color of the wood and pleasant touch.

“The stability of powder in combination with its ability to easily disperse is a major advantage for our customers”, shares Dave Seline, global market manager, surface modifiers at Lubrizol. “With a great balance of properties such as uniform matte appearance, soft touch, surface smoothness, clarity and surface hardness, multiple high-end, pre-finished coating products can benefit from the addition of Lanco PEW 1556.
