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
quality standard.
