Polyethylene emulsion is a type of emulsion made from polyethylene wax. Polyethylene wax is a synthetic refined paraffin wax that is derived from petroleum. It is commonly used as a lubricant, dispersant, and protective coating in various industries, such as coatings, adhesives, inks, and textiles. Polyethylene wax emulsion is created by dispersing small particles of polyethylene wax in water with the help of emulsifying agents. This emulsion allows for easier handling and application of the international wax, as it can be diluted with water and applied as a liquid. When the emulsion is applied to a surface and dries, it leaves behind a thin film of polyethylene wax, which provides lubrication, water resistance, and protection to the coated surface. Polyethylene wax emulsions are used in the textile industry and are mainly used as softeners and sizing aids. Polyethylene Wax Emulsion Properties Polyethylene wax emulsions offer several properties that make them valuable in various applications. Here are some important properties of polyethylene wax emulsions: 1. Particle Size: water based wax emulsion typically has small particle sizes, ranging from nanometers to micrometers. The smaller particle size allows for better dispersion and coverage on surfaces, resulting in improved performance. 2. Stability: Polyethylene wax emulsions exhibit good stability, meaning that the wax particles remain dispersed uniformly in the emulsion over time. This stability prevents the emulsion from separating or forming lumps or sedimentation, ensuring consistent performance during storage and application.
