Polyethylene wax (PE wax powder), also known as polymer wax. It is widely used because of its excellent cold resistance, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance. At present, it is widely used in the manufacture of masterbatches, granulation, plastisols, PVC pipes, hot melt adhesives, rubber, shoe polish, leather polish, cable insulators, floor wax, plastic profiles, inks, injection molding and other products. This article mainly introduces the basic properties of polyethylene wax, application and domestic market status of polyethylene wax.
Introduction of PE wax powder
PE wax powder is a kind of non-toxic, tasteless, non-corrosive chemical material, its color is white small micro-bead/flake, with high melting point, high hardness, high gloss, snow-white color and so on, it also has outstanding chemical stability, excellent temperature resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties at room temperature, and it is used in a wide range of scales, it can be used as a chlorinated polyethylene texture, modifier of plastics, textile coating agent, and an increasing agent to improve the viscosity of crude oil and fuel oil. It is widely used as a material of chlorinated polyethylene, modifier of plastics, coating agent of textiles and increasing agent for improving viscosity of crude oil and fuel oil.
Application of PE wax powder
- Thick color masterbatch and filler masterbatch: it can be used as dispersant in color masterbatch processing and widely used in polyolefin color masterbatch. It has good compatibility with PE, PVC, PP and other resins, and has excellent external lubrication and internal lubrication;
- Pipe, composite stabilizers, profiles: in PVC, pipe, composite stabilizers, PVC profiles, fittings, PP, PE molding process to do dispersants, lubricants and brighteners, to enhance the degree of plasticization, to improve the toughness of the plastic products and the smoothness of the surface, and in the PVC composite stabilizers are widely used in the production of the production of stabilizers;
- Ink: as the carrier of pigment, it can improve the abrasion resistance of paint and ink, improve the dispersibility of pigment and filler, have good anti-settling effect, and can be used as the leveling agent of paint and ink, so that the products will have good luster and three-dimensional sense;
- Wax products: It is widely used in various wax products such as floor wax, automobile wax, varnish wax, candles, etc. It can improve the softening point of wax products and increase their strength and surface gloss.
- Cable materials: PE wax powder is used as lubricant for cable insulation materials, which can enhance the diffusion of filler, improve the extrusion molding rate, increase the flow of the mold, and facilitate demolding;
- Hot melt products: It is used in all kinds of hot melt adhesive, thermosetting powder coating, road marking paint, etc. It can be used as dispersant, has good anti-settling effect, and makes the products have the luster and three-dimensional sense;
- Rubber: as a processing aid for rubber, it can enhance the diffusion of filler, improve the rate of extrusion molding, increase the flow of the mold, facilitate demolding, and improve the surface brightness and smoothness of the product after demolding;
- Cosmetics: make the products have the luster and three-dimensional sense of the number;
- Injection molding: enhance the surface gloss of products;
- Powder coating: PE wax powder can be used in powder coating, which can produce pattern and matting, and also can resist scratch, abrasion, polishing, etc.; it can improve the dispersion of pigment.
