TECHNOLOGIES:
Micro Powders specializes in developing innovative
micronized wax additives, using advanced wax technologies, to meet the formulator’s needs. In addition to innovative chemistry, the particle size of the micronized waxes is
carefully controlled using laser diffraction analysis in order
to ensure consistent particle size uniformity from batch to
batch. Unique “stir-in” wax additives such as AquaBead®,
Polyfluo® and Microspersion® provide the formulator with
optimum performance in surface protection additives. A commitment to quality and to customers is first priority with
Micro Powders. That is why Micro Powders’ quality system
has been awarded worldwide recognition under the ISO
9001:2000 quality standard.
