FEATURES
PE-60/1 – anion wax-water emulsion. Wax content – 60±2%.
PE-50/1 – anion wax-water emulsion. Wax content – 50±2%.
APPLICATIONS
Hydrophobisation in manufacturing: chipboards, fibreboards, OSB, MDF, HDF, plywood, laminated floors, gypsum products, gypsum products.
In the construction materials manufacturing:
- Grease molds for the concrete products manufacturing
- Grease molds for the reinforced concrete products manufacturing
- Grease the constructions for formwork
- Additive to special types of concrete
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Hydrophobic effect occurs during the hot plates pressing. The emulsion decays
and the molten wax settles making wood board layers water-repellent. As a result
of application of the special emulsifier system, emulsion decays even before the
binder hardens. This provides better protection against the water and moisture
penetration. In many cases, it is sufficient to introduce 0.5-1.2% of PE-60/1 by
weight of dry material.
Advantages of the wax emulsion insertion into wood-composite materials:
- Protects against moisture during short and long-term exposure
- Protects against swelling
- Increases the plates strength
- Increases the plates smoothness and flatness
- Reduces dusting when cutting and grinding plates
- Increases the sanding belts life in 2 times or more
- Improves the layers structure formation
- Reduces the consumption of binder by 10-20% without impairing the physical and mechanical properties of plates
- The emulsion mixes well with all types of adhesives and chemical additives used in the manufacturing and introduced simultaneously with them
Consistent high quality and efficiency of the wax emulsion is confirmed by the positive results of many laboratories, as well as manufacturers of chipboard and fiber boards, MDF and laminate flooring.
Advantages of the wax emulsions over the other compositions:
- The simple method of application
- Good compatibility with urea and melamine based on resins
- Deeper penetration of small wax particles (about 1 micron) into the material and, consequently,
- more efficient hydrophobicity of wood fibers
- No influence on the adhesion strength between the plate and the coating
- Optimal storage temperature from + 5°C to + 40°C
- Emulsion is fireproof
- The emulsion is environmentally friendly
