Abstract
Coatings may be used to discourage agglomeration and dust formation when handling seeds. Aqueous emulsions suitable for coating seeds and other substrates may comprise: an aqueous fluid; 5 wt. % to 60 wt. % of at least one wax, based on total solids; and 0.1 wt. % to 45 wt. % of at least one rosin acid, based on total solids, the at least one rosin acid being at least partially neutralized with at least one base. One or more additional additives may also be present in the aqueous emulsions.

A coated substrate comprising:
- a base substrate;
- and
- a thin-film coating formed upon a surface of the base substrate and comprising:
- 5 wt. % to 60 wt. % of at least one wax, based on total mass of the coating;
- and
- 0.1 wt. % to 45 wt. % of at least one rosin acid, based on total mass of the coating, the at least one rosin acid being at least partially neutralized with at least one base.
