MICRO POWDERS, INC.
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

Wax Emulsions
Sub-micron aqueous emulsions formulated using a combination of waxes. The AquaBead grades are designed to produce a water beading effect
as well as long-lasting water repellency in aqueous paints, stains, and coatings. The AquaKlean grades provide excellent scrubbability and burnish
resistance in architectural interior and exterior wall paints, coatings, stains, and sealers.
Microspersion 91E is a polypropylene emulsion designed to increase COF in water based floor finishes, inks, and OPV’s. Microspersion 504E is a large
particle size PE emulsion for aqueous inks and coatings. Microspersion 526E is a high melt point PE emulsion that provides optimum surface protection
while maintaining excellent gloss and film clarity. Microspersion 530E is a PE emulsion with broad FDA compliance for food packaging applications.
