Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) For Plastic Additives And Rubber Industry

Product Description

PE wax is derived from ethylene through a process called polymerization Manufacturers alter the polymerization process to get a product with desired qualities. However, certain basic properties of the material are common for all PE wax. As a completely saturated ethylene homopolymer, polyethylene wax is linear and crystalline. That is why this material finds applications such as blends, plastic additives and rubber manufacture. Due to its high crystalline nature, this material has unique features such as hardness at high temperatures and low solubility in a wide range of solvents. The material is thermoplastic, so you can guess how it behaves when exposed to heat. Thermoplastics melt at An interesting feature of these materials is the ability to be heated and cooled without extensive degradation. Polyethylene wax also features limited poly disparity and molecular weight. Consequently, the material is highly resistant to chemical attacks, has unmatched heat stability and is very flexible in formulating applications. Here is a summary of the characteristics of PE wax: High softening point High melting point Excellent thermal stability High chemical resistance Highly compatible with wax varieties Perfect lubrication Perfect head resistance
