Polyethylene Wax
We, Excellent Traders India (An ISO 9001:2015 certified Organization), are glad to bring to the doorstep of our customer, Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) from Mehrab Oil.
Polyethylene wax (also known as PE wax) is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer. Because of it’s low molecular weight Polyethylene Wax has wax like physical characteristics that include properties such as low viscosity, high hardness (brittleness) and relatively high melt point.
Differences between PE wax and paraffin wax
Paraffin wax is usually produced as a by-product of oil refining. It has a molecular weight which is usually less than half that of most polyethylene waxes. Because of this and other differences, paraffin wax usually has a much lower melt point and is softer than most polyethylene waxes.
Applications of PE Wax:
In terms of applications, polyethylene wax is extensively used in coatings, adhesives, plastics, and rubber. Its primary functions include acting as a lubricant, enhancing surface finish, and improving the flow properties of materials. Good dispersibility of PE Wax make it effective for enhancing the processing and performance of various plastics. It helps improve the flow properties and can act as a lubricant, aiding in the mixing and distribution of pigments or additives within the masterbatch.
Some of the common uses of PE Wax are as mentioned below:
| Color Masterbatch | PVC Industry | Hot Melt Adhesive | Transparent Filler Masterbatch |
| Paint and Coatings | Cable Filling Compounds | Cable Filling Compounds | Thermoplastic Road Markings |
| Printing Ink | Rubber Industry | Candle Making | Textile |
