GTL FT SASOLWAX for Inks, Paints, Coatings

About this product

Sasol’s GTL FT waxes are used as additives in coatings, interior and exterior paint formulations to improve the durability and performance of the coating. They improve properties such as mar and scratch resistance, water repellency, and surface smoothness, as well as provide protection against environmental factors such as UV radiation. GTL FT SASOLWAX products enhance the gloss and color (pigment orientation) of the coating and improve its resistance to abrasion. In addition, Sasol’s GTL FT waxes can act as release agents, preventing blocking between the coated surface and other materials. They are in particular performance additives in formulations for wood, can, powder and automotive coatings. Micronized GTL FT SASOLWAX Micronized waxes play a crucial role in improving the quality and performance of printing inks, providing benefits such as enhanced durability, improved transfer properties, and protection against abrasion and scuffing. Sasol’s micronized GTL Fischer-Tropsch (FT) waxes are manufactured by using spray tower technology or dry grinding processes. They are attractive alternatives to polyethylene waxes for all types of printing inks. Highly sophisticated micritization technologies enable Sasol to supply micronized GTL wax products with a sharp particle size distribution that can be tailored to the desired film thickness of the final print. Regulatory information Sasol’s GTL FT waxes comply with the regulations of the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) for food contact materials, and the Chinese GB National Food Safety Standards. Fischer-Tropsch waxes are not considered as polymers in the sense of ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) and therefore not classified as microplastics. Since the GTL FT SASOLWAX products are produced via natural gas they are described as MOSH/MOAH free. Furthermore, Sasol’s GTL FT waxes are free of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
