PE Wax / PP Wax

Description

PE Wax (Polyethylene Wax) and PP Wax (Polypropylene Wax) are high-performance lubricants engineered for thermoplastic processing. These waxes provide internal lubrication by lowering melt viscosity and external lubrication to reduce die drag. Their low molecular weight and excellent thermal stability make them valuable in formulations requiring consistent processability and product uniformity.

Mechanism & Features

  • Excellent thermal resistance and narrow molecular weight distribution
  • Good compatibility with polyolefins, PVC, and engineering plastics
  • Effective in lowering torque and improving extrusion throughput
  • Enhances dispersion of pigments and fillers in masterbatch systems
  • Improves mold release and anti-blocking characteristics

Technical Specifications

  • Oxidized and non-oxidized PE Wax
  • Micronized PP Wax for coatings
  • High-density and low-density PE Waxes
  • Custom-melt point options

Applications

  • Plastic extrusion and injection molding
  • Masterbatch and compound formulation
  • WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) processing
  • Hot-melt adhesives and thermoplastic road markings
  • Polishes, printing inks, and coatings

Usage Recommendations

  • Consistent particle size and dispersion quality
  • Increased processing efficiency and reduced cycle time
  • Better dimensional stability in finished goods
  • Improved equipment cleanliness and low residue

FAQ

  1. Is PE Wax suitable for high-temperature processing?

Yes. High-density PE Wax and oxidized variants offer excellent thermal resistance for demanding applications.

  1. What is the main function of PP Wax in formulations?

PP Wax serves as an external lubricant, reducing surface friction and enhancing release in polyolefin systems.

  1. How does PE Wax influence pigment dispersion?

It ensures uniform distribution of pigments, leading to stable color development in masterbatches.

  1. Can PE Wax be blended with other additives?

Yes. It blends well with stabilizers, fillers, and other waxes without affecting system compatibility.
