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. AquaKlean Wax Emulsions and AquaMatte Waxes are specifically designed for use in architectural paints and coatings where properties such as scrubability, matting and burnish resistance are required. 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 9001:2008 quality standard.
