Innovative Technology/Quality Assurance
Micro Powders specializes in developing innovative micronized wax
technologies to meet the formulator’s needs. In addition to innovative
chemistry, the particle size of our micronized waxes is carefully controlled using laser diffraction analysis in order to ensure consistent particle size uniformity from batch to batch. Some of our newer products,
including PropylMatte 31HD and AquaMatte® 26HD, are formulated
with higher density polymers, designed to resist flotation in waterborne
systems and provide optimal in-can stability. Our quality system has
been awarded worldwide recognition under the current ISO 9001:2008
standard. A dedicated and experienced technical staff, backed by the
technical service laboratory, is ready to assist customers. The customer
