Oxidized polyethylene wax (OPE wax) is an excellent new type of polar wax with special properties such as low viscosity, high softening point and good hardness. It is widely used in many fields, including but not limited to the following:
Plastics processing: In plastics processing, oxidized polyethylene wax can be used as internal and external lubricant to improve processing efficiency and reduce energy consumption. It improves the surface gloss and flow of plastic products while reducing equipment wear and increasing production rates.
Ink and Coating: In the ink and coating industry, oxidized polyethylene wax is used as a dispersant and anti-sinking agent, which can improve the gloss and three-dimensionality of the printed materials, and at the same time enhance the water resistance and abrasion resistance of the coating.
Rubber industry: As a lubricant, POW reduces energy consumption during rubber processing, improves release efficiency and enhances the gloss and durability of rubber products.
Textile and Leather: In textile softeners and leather treatments, oxidized polyethylene waxes provide good lubricity and water resistance, and increase the softness and gloss of the products.
Agriculture and gardening: Oxidized polyethylene waxes are also used in agriculture and gardening as protectants and lubricants to improve the effectiveness of crop protection coatings and the durability of garden tools.
Other applications: In addition, oxidized polyethylene waxes are used in candles, floor waxes, automotive waxes, cosmetics, match wax sticks, sealing mastics, hot melt adhesives, oil absorbents, and sealants for electronic components.
