Polyethylene Waxes. Polyethylene Wax, also known as PE Wax, is an ultra-low molecular weight polyethylene consisting of ethylene monomer chains. PE wax has a large variety of uses and applications. PE Wax is available from on-purpose production and as a by-product of polyethylene production.
Vinayak Associates offers a comprehensive range of Polyethylene Wax which has a large variety of uses & Applications. Polyethylene Wax, also known as PE Wax, is an ultra-low molecular weight polyethylene consisting of ethylene monomer chains. Due to its high crystalline nature, this material has unique features such as hardness at high temperature and low solubility in a wide range of solvents.
Characteristics of PE Wax are-
High Softening Point
High Melting Point
Excellent Thermal Stability
High Chemical Resistance
High Compatible with a wax variety
Perfect lubrication
Perfect head resistance
Uses and Application of PE Wax-
The major function of PE Wax in many formulations is to either provide lubrication 7/or provide physical modification of a formula by changing viscosity & melting point.
It increases inorganic and organic pigment dispersion in matrix polymer during masterbatch processing. PE Wax also helps granule produce by decreasing softening point of the system.
PE Wax is mainly used in additives, candles, cosmetics, rubber processing, packaging, lubricants, wood coatings, textile treatment, cable filing, polish, masterbatch, paint, crayon, etc.
In the coating Industry, PE Wax is used to provide water repellency, better slip, mark resistance, anti-sagging, abrasion resistance among other
In Ink Industry, PE Wax is used to improve the coefficient of friction and increase scuff resistance.
