What is Paste Wax?
Paste wax is a thick, spreadable wax compound typically made from natural or synthetic waxes like carnauba, beeswax, paraffin, or polyethylene, often blended with solvents for easy application. Once applied and buffed, it leaves behind a thin, durable, water-resistant layer that enhances appearance and provides functional benefits.
Key Features of #700 PERMAKOTEâ„¢ Paste Wax
-
Protective Barrier
Paste wax forms a resilient, non-reactive coating that guards surfaces against moisture, dust, corrosion, and contaminants. -
Low Friction Surface
When used on moving parts or production tools, it reduces friction and wear, which enhances equipment longevity and performance. -
High Temperature Tolerance
Industrial-grade paste waxes are designed to remain stable under high temperatures, making them suitable for heavy-duty environments. -
Non-Staining Formulas
Many paste waxes are engineered to be non-staining and residue-free, which is especially valuable when working with delicate materials or finishes. -
Ease of Application and Buffing
With a relatively simple application process, paste waxes can be reapplied quickly as part of regular maintenance routines.
Industrial and Manufacturing Benefits of #700 PERMAKOTEâ„¢
1. Mold Release Agent
One of the most common uses of paste wax in industrial settings is as a mold release agent. In processes like fiberglass layup, plastic forming, or composite molding, paste wax ensures easy separation of the finished product from the mold without damage or residue.
2. Corrosion and Oxidation Prevention
Metal surfaces, especially those exposed to moisture or chemical environments, benefit greatly from a wax coating that prevents rust and oxidation. Unlike liquid coatings, paste wax doesn’t trap moisture and can be buffed to maintain cleanliness and visibility.
3. Surface Lubrication
Machinery components, cutting tables, and conveyor systems often utilize paste wax to reduce surface drag. This improves workflow and helps minimize mechanical wear over time.
4. Surface Enhancement and Aesthetic Improvement
Paste wax can enhance the luster and smoothness of painted, plastic, or wood surfaces in industrial design or product finishing lines. It delivers a clean, polished look that adds professional appeal without compromising durability.
5. Maintenance and Longevity
Using paste wax in regular maintenance schedules can significantly extend the service life of tools, molds, and equipment. Its protective qualities help preserve surface integrity and reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements.
