Polyethylene wax (PE wax) is widely used in plastics, masterbatch, PVC processing, hot melt adhesives, coatings, and many other industries. It can improve lubrication, dispersion, processing efficiency, and surface properties.
However, choosing the right PE wax is not simply a matter of comparing prices or melting points.
Two PE wax products may have similar melting points and appearances but perform quite differently in actual production. This is because the performance of PE wax is influenced by multiple factors, including viscosity, molecular weight, density, molecular weight distribution, compatibility, and the specific processing system.
So, what should you consider when selecting a PE wax?
