What is PE Wax?
The polyethylene wax is fully saturated homopolymers of ethylene, which has a high degree of crystalline and linearity. Owing to the excellent features of PE wax, it is widely used for enhancing the quality of different materials such as in Rubber Processing, Plastic Additives, Petroleum Wax Blends, and various other blends. PE wax has a high crystalline value and thus it has attributes like low solubility in solvents, hardness at elevated temperatures and oil thickening capability. Owing to these features, PE wax is widely used in the processing of diverse types of products. Polyethylene wax is used for improving and enhancing the process parameters and properties of the finished products in diverse applications in the plastic industry.
The controlled molecular weight and narrow poly disparity of PE wax provide diverse benefits such as low melt viscosity, narrow melt range and formulating flexibility. As the wax is fully saturated and linear, it remains hard even at elevated temperatures and offers exceptional heat stability as well as complete resistance to chemical attack. So, high melting and softening point, low viscosity, excellent head resistance & thermal stability, high hardness level, excellent chemical resistance, excellent compatibility with other waxes and excellent lubrication are some of the key characteristics of the PE wax.
