PE Wax

Polyethylene wax (PE wax) in flakes, from China. PE wax is a low molecular weight polyethylene used as a lubricant, processing aid and dispersant. Drop point 105 °C, viscosity about 30 cP at 140 °C, white colour.

The main uses of PE wax are as an internal and external lubricant in PVC pipe, profile and cable compounds, a dispersant for pigments in colour masterbatch, and an ingredient in hot melt adhesives, road marking paint, inks, coatings and candles. A good PE wax improves flow, lowers processing temperature and gives a better surface finish.
