Polyethylene Wax, also known as PE Wax, is an ultra low molecular weight polyethylene consisting of ethylene monomer chains. PE wax has a large variety of uses and applications. PE Wax is available from on-purpose production and as a byproduct of polyethylene production. This material is available in both HDPE and LDPE forms.There are a variety of methods for producing Polyethylene wax. Polyethylene wax can be made by direct polymerization of ethylene under special conditions that control molecular weight. Another method involves breaking down high molecular weight polyethylene into lower molecular weight fractions. A third method involves separation of the low molecular weight fraction from high molecular weight polymer.

Polyethylene wax application
Polyethylene waxes have very unique polymer properties that make them useful in many applications. The major functions of PE wax in many formulations are to either provide lubrication and/or provide physical modification of a formula by changing viscosity and / or melt point.
Polyethylene wax increase inorganic and organic pigment dispersion in matrix polymer during masterbach processing. Also, PE wax helps granule produce by decrease softening point of system.
Polyethylene wax is very good external lubricant for PVC. When PE wax use in PVC application, final produce face has been shine.Polyethylene wax using decrease the friction so increase the extrusion capacity.
Polyethylene wax using doesn’t change the product color because PE wax has got good oxidation resistance.
Polyethylene wax doesn’t bad effect product’s heat and light stability because pe wax doesn’t include catalizors remnant.
