About Polyethylene Wax
Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) is essentially a low-molecular-weight polyethylene polymer. It is a synthetic wax produced via the polymerization of petroleum-derived ethylene monomers. Widely utilized as an indispensable additive in industrial formulations, the primary function of PE Wax is to serve as a high-performance external/internal lubricant and dispersing agent.
Properties and Functions
| Property | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Lubricity (Lubrication) | Reduces friction between the polymer melt and processing equipment metal surfaces. | Enhances production output, lowers energy consumption, and promotes easy mold release. |
| Dispersing Ability | Facilitates homogeneous dispersion of pigments and fillers in masterbatches, coatings, and inks. | Improves color consistency, prevents agglomeration, and elevates finished product quality. |
| High Melting Point | Retains structural integrity even at elevated temperatures; chemically inert. | Ensures thermal stability and operational reliability during high-temperature processing. |
| Hardness and Gloss | Increases surface hardness, scratch resistance, and abrasion resistance of finished articles. | Provides aesthetic appeal, gloss, and long-term durability. |
| Chemical Resistance | Exhibits strong resistance to moisture, water, and various chemical agents. | Acts as an effective protective coating barrier. |
