Powder Polyethylene Wax

Powder Polyethylene wax Properties:

Powder Polyethylene wax is a synthetic wax derived from ethylene. With its relatively low molecular weight, high melting point, and hard, brittle, white or transparent powder form, this wax offers excellent thermal stability.
Advanced processing: Facilitates smoother processing of polymers by reducing friction and wear.
Improved product quality: Contributes to superior surface properties and increased stability in finished goods.
Versatility: Can be used for various industrial applications due to its tunable properties.

Powder Polyethylene wax Common types:

Oxidized polyethylene wax: Contains functional groups for better compatibility and dispersion, especially in water-based systems.
Non-oxidized polyethylene wax: Preferred for applications requiring non-polar properties.

Powder Polyethylene wax Safety and Handling:

Generally considered non-toxic with minimal health risks. However, careful handling is recommended to avoid dust generation which can lead to inhalation concerns.

Powder Polyethylene wax Applications:

PE Powdered Wax is a very versatile material used in a variety of industries:
Plastics and Polymers: Acts as a lubricant and processing aid, improves flow, prevents sticking and increases thermal stability during molding and extrusion.
Coatings: Increases scratch and abrasion resistance, improves gloss and surface finish and acts as an anti-blocking agent.
Inks: Increases abrasion resistance, improves slip and gloss of printed surfaces and aids pigment dispersion.
Adhesives: Modifies viscosity in hot melt adhesives, improves component compatibility, and increases thermal stability.
Rubber: Acts as a processing aid, release agent, and anti-ozone agent, extending product life and improving production efficiency.
Textiles: Provides lubrication to reduce friction during processing and imparts water repellency to fabrics.
Masterbatches: Used as a carrier resin and dispersant, ensuring uniform distribution of pigments and additives in plastics. Cosmetics: Acts as a binding agent and gloss enhancer in products such as lipsticks and lip balms.
Glosses: Provides a protective, glossy finish to surfaces in floor, car, and furniture waxes.
Candles: Acts as a hardening agent, improving shape retention and burn quality.
These diverse applications highlight the significant value and application of powdered polyethylene wax in various industrial sectors.
