Wax emulsions are used in polishes like for example floor-, furniture- and  car polishes to improve the following surface properties:

• Scratch resistance
• Gloss & matting
• Buffability
• Hydrophobicity
• Black heel & fingermarking resistance

Because of their low melting point, Carnauba, Paraffin and Beeswax emulsions are mostly used in car- and furniture polishes whereas higher melting wax emulsions based on PE and PP are used in floor care polishes.
