Micro Powders. Small Particles, Big Ideas.
Micro Powders is proud to offer the most comprehensive portfolio of dry wax powders, wax dispersions,
and wax emulsions available in the industry.
At Micro Powders, we develop additives that help formulators solve problems and achieve unique surface
effects in inks, paints, coatings and many other industrial applications. Our products focus on:
    • Durability (slip, rub, abrasion and scratch resistance)
    • Gloss reduction and burnish resistance
    • Water repellency
    • Texture effects
    • Tactile and soft touch effects
Since wax additives are our core business, we are the leaders in creating innovative particle
technologies that deliver maximum performance and efficiency. Our novel composite and
nanocomposite grades can deliver superior results at use levels of 1% or less.
We also offer many products based on natural and biodegradable materials, giving today’s
formulators even more options to develop next-generation products.
Our passion is to help our customers. Choosing the best wax additive can be intimidating, but we are always
