Polyethylene wax is widely used in color masterbatch dispersion, road paint, water-based paint, plastic dyeing, printing ink, paraffin, plastic processing lubrication, etc. today, Sainuo will take you to understand the role of  polyethylene wax in these industries. 

1. Color masterbatch

Pe wax has good compatibility with toner, is easy to wet the pigment, and can penetrate into the internal pores of the pigment aggregate, weaken the cohesion, so that the pigment aggregate is easier to break under the action of external shear force, and the newly generated particles can also be quickly wetted and protected. Therefore, it can be used as the dispersant and filling masterbatch of various thermoplastic resin masterbatch, and the lubricating dispersant of degradation masterbatch. In addition, polyethylene wax can also reduce the viscosity of the system and improve the fluidity. Therefore, adding polyethylene wax in the production of color masterbatch can improve the production efficiency and output and stabilize the dispersion effect.

2. Road marking paint

The polyethylene wax is made into toluene dispersion and added to the paint. The light migrates to the coating surface and then to the polyethylene wax powder particles. Through the refraction and diffusion of the powder particles, the reflection of the light projected on the coating surface in the same direction is weakened, so as to achieve the extinction effect. The extinction effect of polyethylene wax with different particle sizes and varieties is different. In the actual use process, its dosage can be adjusted according to needs.

3. Waterborne paint

Adding polyethylene wax lotion to acrylic resin can improve its hydrophilicity and play the role of anti slip, anti adhesion and stain resistance. Polyethylene wax can produce synchronous effects such as wear resistance and scratch resistance, reduce the friction coefficient of the coating surface, and make the sliding tendency of objects contact the coating surface greater than the scratch tendency. The migration of polyethylene wax powder to the coating surface can greatly reduce the dynamic friction coefficient of the coating surface. Adding polyethylene wax powder to the coating can greatly reduce the tendency of the coating to be polished by friction, so as to maintain the durability of low gloss. Polyethylene wax has obvious extinction characteristics for polyester coatings. In addition, polyethylene wax is also used as an adjusting agent for the melting level flow of powder coatings.

4. Paraffin

Polyethylene wax has good compatibility with paraffin and microcrystalline paraffin. As a paraffin modifier, it can improve the melting point, water resistance, moisture permeability and hardness of paraffin. In the production of candles, adding a certain amount of polyethylene wax can overcome the shortcomings of wax deformation, overflow and so on, and make the crystallization of products thinner; Overcome its brittleness, increase the hardness of wax products and reduce the shrinkage; In addition, it can also improve the heat resistance and demoulding property of candles. In addition, due to its good electrical properties, polyethylene wax can also be used as an insulating wax modifier for capacitors, transformers and other electrical appliances.

5. Printing ink

Polyethylene wax can be used in polyethylene film, polypropylene film, moisture-proof cellophane, plastic and other packaging materials for fruit candy, milk, fruit juice, skin care products, medicine bottles, detergents and food, as well as inks for other purposes, such as offset ink. As an ink wear-resistant agent, it has a good effect. The particle size of polyethylene wax itself is similar to or slightly larger than the thickness of the ink film, so it is exposed, reflecting the scratch resistance and scratch resistance of wax. At the same time, polyethylene wax can form a uniform film on the surface of the film, so that the ink surface can be protected.

6. Plastic dyeing

As a pigment dispersant for plastic dyeing, polyethylene wax has the characteristics of good compatibility and heat resistance with plastics, good mixing with pigments and easy crushing, and does not affect the color of terminal products. Polyethylene wax can also bring the same charge on the surface of pigment particles. Based on the same-sex repulsion principle, particles will not attract or gather each other, so as to achieve the uniform dispersion of pigments.
