Polyethylene Wax PE Wax Master Plastic Lubricant Release Agent Brightener Paint Additive

Properties of PE Wax

1. Physical Properties:
   • Density: Typically ranging from 0.93 to 0.98 g/cm³.
   • Low viscosity: Facilitates good flowability during processing.
   • High softening point: Enables stability at elevated temperatures.
   • Good hardness: Adds durability in various applications.
2. Chemical Properties:
   • Non-toxic: Safe for human use under normal conditions.
   • Good thermal stability: Resists decomposition at high temperatures.
   • Strong resistance to chemicals: Resilient against a wide range of chemicals.
   • Excellent electrical properties: Functions well as an electrical insulator.
3. Other Characteristics:
   • Good cold and heat resistance, wear resistance.
   • Good compatibility with polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-propylene rubber, butyl rubber, etc.

Functions of PE Wax

1. Lubrication:
   • Acts as a lubricant in plastic processing, reducing friction and enhancing efficiency.
   • Provides stable performance due to its chemical and electrical properties.
2. Dispersion:
   • Aids in the dispersion of fillers in color masterbatches and modified plastics, improving product uniformity.
   • Enhances pigment dispersion in inks, preventing sedimentation.
3. Surface Modification:
   • Improves the gloss and smoothness of plastic products, inks, and paper.
   • Forms protective layers in coatings with scratch resistance and wear resistance.
4. Others:
   • Facilitates easy demolding in rubber processing.
   • Enhances insulation properties in cable insulation materials.
   • Improves wear resistance and matte effects in paints and inks.

Applications of PE Wax

1. Plastic Processing:
   • Used as a lubricant in injection molding, extrusion, and calendering processes, improving efficiency and finished product appearance.
   • As a dispersant in color masterbatches and modified plastics to ensure uniformity.
2. Inks and Coatings:
   • Acts as a pigment carrier, improving wear resistance and dispersion in paints and inks.
   • Enhances the matting, scratch resistance, and wear resistance of coatings.
3. Rubber Processing:
   • Serves as a processing aid, increasing extrusion speed, improving mold flow, and facilitating demolding.
4. Cable Insulation Materials:
   • Used as a lubricant to enhance insulation properties in cable compounds.
5. Other Industries:
   • Utilized in the manufacture of shoe polish, candles, crayons, cosmetics, etc.
   • Improves paper gloss, durability, and wear resistance in paper processing.
   • Acts as a component in hot-melt adhesives, leather brighteners, and other products.
