Why dispersion performance starts with the right wax
A dispersion's hydrophobing properties are determined by the interaction of multiple factors:
- Water content and wax blend composition
- Wax particle size and emulsifier type
- Emulsion process conditions
- Compatibility with production line temperatures and pressures
Dispersions perfectly matched to each application deliver best-possible swell resistance and process performance - from economic standard grades to high-performance solutions for demanding HDF lines.
