Specialized Polypropylene Wax for Cigarette Packaging Inks

WQ-P2302 Micronized Polypropylene Wax Powder is a high-performance additive designed as a cost-effective alternative to BYK-994, widely used in solvent-based inks and coating systems.

Featuring uniform particle size and shape, high melting point, excellent hardness, and superior transparency, WQ-P2302 delivers consistent performance in demanding applications, especially in tobacco packaging inks where surface quality and durability are critical.

Engineered for easy dispersion, this polypropylene wax ensures stable processing while significantly improving surface resistance properties without negatively impacting clarity.

Comparable performance with optimized cost efficiency for industrial applications.

Enhances durability of ink and coating films, improving resistance to mechanical damage.

High melting point provides superior high-temperature anti-sticking and anti-blocking properties.

Maintains coating and ink clarity, ideal for high-end packaging applications.

Ensures consistent dispersion and stable formulation performance.

Compatible with various solvent-based systems, simplifying processing.

Provides surface protection without significantly reducing gloss.

WQ-P2302 is specifically recommended for:

• Tobacco Packaging Inks (gravure & flexographic inks)

• Solvent-based inks

• Industrial coatings

• Wood coatings

• Floor coatings

• Powder coatings

• UV-curable coatings
