High Hardness Good Abrasion Resistance PE Wax Powder PE Wax for Plastic Processing Additive

Product Description

Product Description

Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) is a low molecular weight polyethylene material widely used as a high-performance lubricant and processing aid in plastics, rubber, coatings, inks, and masterbatch applications.

Our PE Wax is produced using advanced polymerization and refining technology, offering stable quality, narrow molecular weight distribution, and excellent thermal stability. It effectively reduces friction during processing, improves melt flow, and enhances the surface quality of finished products.

Compared with traditional paraffin wax, PE Wax features a higher melting point, better heat resistance, and lower migration, making it especially suitable for high-temperature processing systems such as PVC extrusion, injection molding, and masterbatch compounding.

This product shows excellent compatibility with PVC, PE, PP, ABS, and rubber systems. It disperses easily without blooming or precipitation, helping manufacturers achieve smoother processing, improved production efficiency, and consistent product appearance.

PE Wax can be supplied in powder, granule, or flake form, with customizable molecular weight and melting point to meet different processing requirements.

Hot Topics Q&A

1: What role does PE Wax play in PVC formulations?
PE Wax mainly acts as an external lubricant, reducing adhesion between PVC melt and processing equipment, preventing sticking, and ensuring smooth extrusion or molding.

2: Why choose PE Wax instead of paraffin wax?
PE Wax provides:

Higher melting point and better heat resistance

Lower volatility and migration

More stable performance in high-speed and high-temperature processing

3: What is the typical dosage of PE Wax?
PVC products: 0.3%–1.0%

Masterbatch: 1%–3%

Coatings & inks: 0.5%–2%
(Actual dosage should be optimized according to formulation and equipment.)

Application

Plastic Processing Industry

PE Wax is extensively used in PVC and other thermoplastic processing, including extrusion, injection molding, and calendering.

In PVC pipes, profiles, sheets, and foam boards, PE Wax reduces friction between the molten polymer and metal surfaces of processing equipment. This helps prevent sticking, burning, and surface defects during high-temperature processing. As a result, production runs more smoothly, output becomes more stable, and equipment wear is reduced.

Additionally, PE Wax improves melt flow and surface smoothness, contributing to higher gloss, better dimensional stability, and cleaner edges of finished plastic products.

Typical applications include:

PVC pipes and fittings
PVC profiles and window frames
Rigid and foam PVC boards
Injection-molded plastic parts

Rubber Industry

In rubber compounding and processing, PE Wax functions as both an internal and external lubricant. It improves the dispersion of fillers, accelerators, and other additives during mixing, leading to more uniform compounds.

PE Wax also enhances mold release during vulcanization, reducing sticking and improving demolding efficiency. This results in better surface appearance, reduced defects, and improved processing consistency in rubber products.

Typical applications include:

Industrial rubber products
Automotive rubber components
Rubber seals, gaskets, and hoses

Coatings, Inks & Surface Finishing

PE Wax is commonly used in industrial coatings, printing inks, and surface treatment formulations as a surface performance enhancer.

When incorporated into coatings or inks, PE Wax significantly improves abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and slip properties. It also helps reduce blocking and improves the tactile feel of coated surfaces.

Due to its good dispersion and thermal stability, PE Wax can be used in solvent-based, water-based, and powder coating systems, contributing to consistent surface effects without negatively affecting transparency or adhesion.

Typical applications include:

Industrial protective coatings
Wood coatings and varnishes
Printing inks
Powder coatings

Masterbatch (Color & Filler Masterbatch)

In color masterbatch and filler masterbatch production, PE Wax plays an important role as a processing aid and dispersing agent.

It helps pigments and fillers distribute more evenly within the polymer matrix, improving color uniformity and reducing agglomeration. PE Wax also improves melt flow during extrusion, increasing production efficiency and output stability.

By enhancing dispersion and flowability, PE Wax contributes to better color strength, smoother surfaces, and more consistent masterbatch quality.

Typical applications include:

Color masterbatch
Calcium carbonate filler masterbatch
Functional additive masterbatch
