I am facing an issue wherein when the amount of ox HDPE wax emulsion is increased in a coating formulation - it adversely impacts gloss. Is there any way to increase the other properties (scuff resistance, mar resistance) without impairing gloss?
I am a formulator for wax emulsions. So different waxes or other components which can maintain gloss levels which can be incorporated in the emulsion formulation suggestions are welcome.
Dear Dr. Nagesh Dabke,
you are a formulator for wax emulsions; if you have not already done I suggest you to have a look at the following note, hoping they are useful for your purpose:

Dear all, since the gloss is surface phenomenon, normally the substrate on which this coating should be specified. These references are suggested with the hope they bring additional information. My Regards

Abdelkader BOUAZIZ Sir thank you for the references, the substrate will be paper and cardboard boxes, the medium is liquid printing ink.
