Coatings and inks continue to advance toward higher performance, improved efficiency and more sustainable material choices. Lubrizol Micro Dispersions support this shift. As a new class of high solids, water based wax additives developed by Lubrizol, Micro Dispersions combine the smooth appearance typical of emulsions with the durability and protection expected from dispersions—offering formulators a unique balance of aesthetics and performance.

Micro Dispersions deliver reliable surface protection, strong stability and improved formulation efficiency. Their high solids content supports reduced water levels and potential formulation savings, while their engineered particle design helps maintain consistent performance across modern coating and printing systems.

A New Category with Distinct Advantages

Micro Dispersions introduce a differentiated technology platform that provides:

Emulsion like appearance with dispersion level protection
Smooth, uniform aesthetics paired with reliable scratch and mar resistance.

High stability in storage and formulation
Engineered particle structure that resists separation, settling and performance drift.

High solids efficiency
Supports streamlined formulation design, reduced water content and potential cost in use benefits.

This balanced performance profile makes Micro Dispersions an effective choice for formulators seeking next generation wax additive technologies.

Versatility Across Coatings and Printing

Micro Dispersions are engineered for use in a broad range of coatings and printing applications where consistent surface protection, appearance control and durability are essential. Their compatibility across multiple resin systems enables flexible use in both traditional and emerging technologies.
