In PVC processing, polyethylene wax (PE wax) acts as an "invisible engineer," balancing internal and external lubrication through its unique polar-nonpolar molecular structure. Sainuo’s molecular design deciphers how it unlocks efficiency.
PE wax’s polar head & nonpolar tail enable dual functions:
Internal Lubrication:
Polar groups embed in PVC chains, reducing intermolecular cohesion
Minimizes shear heat, preventing resin degradation
External Lubrication:
Nonpolar chains migrate to form nano-films at metal-polymer interfaces
Prevents sticking to rolls/molds, protecting equipment
Scientific Insight: Internal lubrication lowers "molecular friction," while external lubrication resolves "equipment-polymer conflict"—synergy achieves energy-quality equilibrium
Parameter | Fatty Acid Lubricants | PE Wax Advantages |
---|---|---|
Melt Tension | Significant reduction | Stable maintenance |
Transparency | Haze formation | High clarity (ideal for medical tubes) |
High-T Stability | Volatiles cause plate-out | Low volatility, suits calendering/vacuum |
Unique Mechanisms:
"Anchoring Effect": Polar groups temporarily bond PVC chains, nonpolar tails orient outward
Thermal Barrier: Migrated wax molecules inhibit metal-ion catalyzed PVC decomposition
Case 1: Clear Sheets (Medical/Film)
Challenge: Blooming destroys optical uniformity
Solution: Narrow MW distribution (PDI<1.8) + refractive index matching (PVC≈1.52) → Haze <5%
Case 2: High-Filled Flooring (60% CaCO₃)
Challenge: Filler agglomeration causes surface defects
Solution: Nonpolar chains coat fillers, weakening polar adsorption forces
Case 3: Foamed Footwear
Challenge: Bubble coalescence collapses structure
Solution: Lowered melt viscosity accelerates bubble nucleation kinetics
To overcome migration and thermal limits:
Polar Activation:
Carboxyl-grafted chains enhance PVC anchoring, resisting high-shear failure
Silicone Hybridization:
Siloxane networks sustain lubricating films at 230°C (proven in automotive cables)
Client Proof: An Egyptian profile plant extended mold cleaning from 48 to 600 hours with Sainuo PE WAX 119—validated by German lab lifetime models.
