Polyethylene wax is composed of long-chain, saturated hydrocarbons. Polyethylene wax is typically available in solid forms like flakes, pastilles, or powders. One of the primary applications of polyethylene wax is as a lubricant. When used as an internal lubricant, it reduces friction between molecular chains in plastic materials, making them easier to process and shape. This helps improve the flow properties and reduces the energy required for molding processes. Polyethylene wax exhibits good compatibility with many polymers, making it a versatile additive in various industries such as plastics, rubber, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and more.

Applications:

·         Plastics Industry: Polyethylene wax is used as an additive to improve processing and modify properties of plastic materials.

·         Coatings and Paints: It enhances scratch resistance, gloss, and water resistance in coatings and paints.

·         Printing Inks: It improves printability, rub resistance, and gloss in printing inks.

·         Rubber and Tire Industry: It acts as a processing aid and mold release agent in rubber compounding and tire manufacturing.

·         Adhesives: It enhances tack, peel strength, and flexibility in hot melt adhesives.

·         Paper and Packaging: It improves water resistance, gloss, and printability in paper coatings and packaging materials.

·         Personal Care Products: It serves as an emollient, thickening agent, and binder in cosmetics and personal care formulations.

·         Candle Manufacturing: It enhances burn performance and reduces dripping in candle formulations.

·         Textiles and Fiber Processing: It acts as a lubricating agent in textile finishing processes, improving fiber processing and properties.
