GTL FT SASOLWAX for Paints and Coatings
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.
