Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) – Product Overview
What is PE Wax?
Polyethylene wax (PE wax) is a low-molecular-weight synthetic polyethylene material, appearing as white or light-yellow granules/powder. It offers excellent lubricity, dispersibility, and heat resistance. Odorless, non-toxic, and chemically stable, it is widely used as a cost-effective performance enhancer in plastics, coatings, inks, cosmetics, and more.
Key Features
Superior Lubrication – Reduces friction during processing, improves efficiency, and minimizes equipment wear.
Enhanced Dispersion – Ensures even distribution of pigments/fillers for vibrant colors and smooth textures.
High-Temp Stability – Melting point: 100-140°C, suitable for diverse industrial processes.
Chemical Inertness – Resists acids, alkalis, and aging, extending product lifespan.
Eco-Friendly – Safe for food packaging and cosmetics.
Applications
Plastics – Acts as a release agent and flow promoter for PVC, PP, PE, etc.
Coatings & Inks – Boosts gloss, prevents skinning/settling.
Cables – Improves insulation uniformity and weather resistance.
Cosmetics– Thickener/shine agent for lipsticks, shoe polish, etc.
Other Uses – Rubber, textiles, paper processing, and more.
