Polyethylene Wax: Enhancing Plastic & Paint Production

Polyethylene Wax: Introduction

Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) is a versatile, high-performance additive widely used in the plastics and coatings industries. Known for its excellent lubrication, dispersion, and surface-enhancing properties, PE Wax plays a vital role in improving product quality and production efficiency. At Faragam Parafin, our premium-grade Polyethylene Wax is carefully engineered to deliver consistent results across a wide range of industrial applications — from PVC and masterbatch production to paint, coating, and ink formulations.

What Is Polyethylene Wax?

Polyethylene Wax is a low-molecular-weight polymer derived from polyethylene. It is solid at room temperature and typically available in flakes, powder, or granules. This material offers exceptional chemical stability, high melting point, and low viscosity, making it an ideal processing aid and performance enhancer.

PE Wax acts as both an internal and external lubricant, helping materials flow smoothly during extrusion or molding while improving the surface finish and overall quality of the final product.

Polyethylene Wax: Key Features and Benefits

Faragam Parafin produces high-purity Polyethylene Wax with carefully controlled molecular structure to ensure optimal performance.
Below are the key features that make our PE Wax stand out:

• Excellent Lubrication: Reduces friction between polymer chains and machine parts, enabling smoother processing and preventing equipment wear.

• Improved Dispersion: Enhances the uniform distribution of pigments, fillers, and additives in masterbatches, ensuring color consistency and stability.

• Thermal Stability: Maintains integrity under high processing temperatures, minimizing degradation and discoloration.

• High Gloss and Smooth Finish: Creates bright, uniform surfaces in coatings, inks, and molded products.

• Compatibility: Easily blends with a wide range of polymers such as PVC, PE, PP, and EVA, as well as with other additives and modifiers.

• Moisture and Chemical Resistance: Provides protective properties for coatings and films, extending product durability.

• Dust Control and Flow Improvement: Reduces dust formation and improves powder flow in compounding and extrusion processes.

Polyethylene Wax: Applications Across Industries

Polyethylene Wax from Faragam Parafin is designed to meet the diverse needs of various industrial sectors. Some of its main applications include:

1. Plastic and PVC Manufacturing

PE Wax acts as an internal and external lubricant, improving melt flow and reducing torque in extruders. It enhances productivity and ensures smooth demolding with clean, glossy surfaces.

2. Masterbatch and Compounding

In color and additive masterbatches, PE Wax improves pigment dispersion, reduces agglomeration, and stabilizes the mix for consistent quality across production batches.

3. Paints, Coatings, and Inks

In surface coatings, PE Wax enhances abrasion resistance, gloss, and slip performance. It also helps control viscosity and provides a uniform film appearance for superior finish quality.

4. Adhesives and Polishes

As a processing aid, PE Wax contributes to better flow, improved thermal stability, and reduced tackiness, resulting in cleaner and more stable end products.
