Wax-emulsions are used in the metal industry in order to improve the following properties:

• Adhesion
• Corrosion protection
• Lubrication
• Release

Target applications include:

• Deep drawing (lubrication)
• Self cutting screws (lubrication and corrosion protection)
• Heat seal coatings (EAA copolymers on aluminium foil)
• Aluminium diecasting (mold release)
