Applications & benefits of Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion by Lakeland Laboratories

With properties that make wax emulsions more resistant to marking and staining, emulsions by Lakeland such as our Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer effectively clean, protect and maintain the surfaces to which they are applied, such as flooring, metal working, textiles and protective coatings.

A surfactant contains components which are insoluble in water or oil, and a water-soluble element.

One of the most common mediums in which these surfactants are applied is in the form of a wax emulsion. This carefully-formulated combination of waxes, surfactants and small amounts of other additives is produced in precise, controlled conditions by Lakeland at our in-house laboratory, developed by our specialist technical team, to achieve a versatile range of desired results.

What are the specific properties of Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion?

Lakewax 52 is one of our most popular wax emulsion products. Stable, easy-to-handle and free-flowing waxes are manufactured under high pressure and rapid cooling conditions at our plant in Greater Manchester by surfactant chemical experts, creating bespoke wax emulsions, including the polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion Lakewax 52, that are used across industries worldwide.

Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion by Lakeland Laboratories carries properties including:

• Anti-blocking, minimising interactivity between surfaces either through adhesion or other forces. This allows barriers to be formed between surface layers, and modifies the frictional properties of the surface.
• Varying particle sizes, making it easier for active ingredients to bind together, yet making it more difficult for external contaminants to penetrate a surface treated with Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer.
• Applicable in hard or soft wax formulas, so you can apply its highly protective properties to a broad range of products and surface types.
• Wear-resistant, making even the most highly-used surfaces more durable and helping them to stay looking good for longer.
• Makes surfaces slip-resistant, helping to keep highly-trafficked floors and other well-used work surfaces in a safe condition.
• When added together, all these properties of a polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion such as Lakewax 52 help give a wide variety of products, surfaces and finishes a longer working life, and help them stay looking good too.

What are the main applications of Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion?

Given the wide range of properties and benefits Lakewax 52’s polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion offers, the product can be utilised across a huge range of applications.

Industrial applications for Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion by Lakeland Laboratories are incredibly broad, but include:

• Use in floor polishes and floor cleaning products
• Metal working applications, reducing friction for cleaner metal cuts and safer handling
• Textile finishing processes utilise Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer, adding a protective layer to help textiles last longer
• Water-based paints benefit from the reduced solvents contained in our polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion
• Temporary protective coatings and fruit coatings are applied using Lakewax 52

Who’s using Lakewax 52’s polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion?

Lakewax 52 has been used for many years by a company which supplies its cleaning agents to customers throughout Europe. Achieving quality results through the application of the polyethylene copolymer product, our team has continued to collaborate with our client to develop further specialised wax emulsions which are now in use across Europe to clean, finish and protect the floors of schools, factories, shops and other industrial and commercial settings.

Lakewax 52 polyethylene copolymer adds extra wear-resistance to wood and textile surfaces, helping to ward off signs of heavy traffic and use. Thanks to this highly successful polyethylene copolymer wax emulsion product, hard-working and much-used surfaces can stand up much more effectively to day-to-day wear with Lakewax 52, prolonging the lives of many valuable and vital assets.
