CeridustClariant's waxes for toner are not only additives which perform as release agents in modern toners, but they are also designed as special products for a more effective dispersion of CCAs and pigments in the toner resin. Clariant offers a wide range of waxes: for classical toners, Clariant's waxes are based on special polypropylene systems and for new toners a range of lower and sharper melting products is offered (Tonerwax). They are available as powders or granules.
