Oxidized High Density Polyethylene Wax (OPE WAX)

Products Description

Oxidized PE wax, also known as oxidized polyethylene wax, is a specialized type of wax that has undergone a controlled oxidation process.

● With good compatibility, provide good internal and external lubrication, and dispersion. Improve surface smoothness, promote plasticizing, demoulding and yield;

● As a good dispersion emulsifier, release agent, improve flexibility and moisture resistance;

● Increase the intensity, glossiness, combustion complete, no black smoke;

● Improve the dispersion, improve the appearance of the finished product.

Index

Oxidized Polyethylene Wax (OPE wax) offers several advantages, including:

1. Improved Surface Properties: OPE wax is known to improve the surface properties of materials, such as scratch resistance and slip resistance. It can provide a smooth and glossy finish to products and enhance their durability.

2. Enhanced Processibility: OPE wax can improve the processing characteristics of materials, making them easier to handle and process. It can reduce the friction between surfaces during processing, leading to improved flow and reduced processing time.

3. High Thermal Stability: OPE wax has high thermal stability and can withstand temperatures up to 150°C without degradation. This makes it suitable for use in high-temperature applications such as hot-melt adhesives and coatings.

4. Low Volatility: OPE wax has low volatility, meaning it doesn't easily evaporate into the air. This makes it suitable for use in products where low odor and emissions are important, such as food packaging materials.

5. Compatibility: OPE wax is compatible with a wide range of polymers, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and PVC. This makes it a versatile additive that can be used in various applications.

Application

In the coatings industry, oxidized PE wax is utilized as a matting agent and surface modifier. It improves scratch resistance, anti-blocking properties, and anti-slip characteristics in coatings and paints. The wax's small particle size allows for easy dispersion and uniform distribution within the coating, resulting in a smooth and even finish. Additionally, it enhances the coating's hardness, chemical resistance, and overall durability.

In the plastics industry, oxidized PE wax acts as a processing aid and lubricant. It improves the flow properties of molten polymers during processing, reducing friction and enhancing mold release. This wax also enhances the dispersion of additives and pigments, resulting in improved color distribution and reduced haze in plastic products. Moreover, it imparts anti-blocking properties and reduces surface tackiness in plastic films and sheets.

In the rubber industry, oxidized PE wax is used as a dispersing agent and processing aid. It improves the dispersion of fillers and reinforcements in rubber compounds, leading to enhanced mechanical properties and reduced compound viscosity. The wax also acts as a lubricant during the processing of rubber, improving extrusion and calendering operations.
