Wax emulsions surfactants manufactured in Manchester by Lakeland Laboratories
Wax emulsions surfactants are manufactured by Lakeland Laboratories' Manchester team under high pressure and rapid cooling conditions. Our reliable and incredibly versatile range of nonionic, anionic and cationic aqueous emulsions include homopolymers, polypropylene, copolymers and montan ester surfactants.
A wax emulsion is a stable mixture of one or more waxes in water. Lakeland’s free-flowing liquid surfactant wax emulsions manufactured in Manchester allow for improved mechanical action, often used as tough coatings to prevent scuffs and abrasion, and anti-slip floor coatings which protect buildings, prevent injury and secure products during transit.
From glossy floor polishes which protect surfaces from heel marks and water damage to solvent-free paints, wood and timber protection, mould release, textile softening, anti-scuff printing inks and the preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables, Lakeland’s wax emulsions in Manchester appeal to a range of industries.
