With a leading legacy of more than 30 years, 20 Microns Limited positions itself as a group company holding several subsidiaries in India and abroad. 20 Microns Nano Minerals Limited established itself as the first subsidiary of 20 Microns trying to create its own niche with its diversified product portfolio mix of Soft Industrial Minerals & Specialty Chemicals.
2. Wax Additives / Processing Aids:-
Polymers are made of long chain molecules of varying sizes and distributions. These polymers tend to
be :
• Relatively viscous above their melt temperature
• “Sticky” above their melt temperature
Lubricants serve to decrease the frictional forces found between :
• Polymer : Polymer
• Polymer : Metal
• Polymer : Filler
• Filler : Filler
3. Products :-Polyethylene Wax
Polyethylene waxes can be made in two main grades, emulsifiable and non emulsifiable waxes. The
differences between both the grades are in relation to the molecular weight. The products are made in
the molecular weight range of around 6000 and in the range of around 2000 to 4000
20 Microns Nano Minerals are making different grades of Polyethylene Wax :
• Fast Flow P
• Fast Flow S
• Flow AID
4. Properties:-
• Form : Polyethylene Wax is available as Pellets, Powders or Flakes
• Melting Point : 97-115 deg.C
• Specific Gravity : 0.922
• Other Details : Excellent Stability against Polishing, Scratch Resistance, Metal Mark Resistance, Scuff
Resistance. Polyethylene
Wax is resistant to Water and Chemical Materials.
Markets:-
• Food Packaging
• Coatings : Mar Resistance, Anti blocking, Slip of form ability, Anti Settling and Anti Sagging, Abrasion
Resistance, Metal Marking Resistance
• Printing Inks : Rub Resistance/Scratch Resistance
• Adhesives
5. MICRONISED WAX:-
A good definition of micronized wax is a wax powder with an average particle size of less than ten
micrometers. Only hard wax can be ground this fine. Only low melt viscosity wax can be sprayed this
fine.
Micronised wax products are successfully used today in many industries, such as paints, coatings,
plastics, inks and adhesives.

7. WAX EMULSION:-
Wax emulsion refers to the water based system with the particle size distribution below 1 µm, distinguished by the
emulsion iconicity, it can be non ionic, anionic, and cationic. Wax emulsion is different from wax dispersion; it has
no matting effect and is used for coating and inks which has high requirement on gloss.
Products:-
Flowlube Emulsion
FLOWLUBE EMULSION is advance surface protection and scratch resistance additives for coatings. Wax
Emulsion is different from wax dispersion. It is non ionic emulsion of modified paraffin wax.
8. Properties:-
FLOWLUBE is a kind of Wax Emulsion, suitable to be used in coatings which have special requests
on high transparency and gloss, and improve the hand feeling abrasion and scratch resistance.
