Polyethylene Wax PE wax Producer and Supplier from China

a. Used in plastic processing to enhance lubricity, wear resistance, and processability of plastic products;
b. Widely applied in PVC wood-plastic composites, flooring, PVC fire hoses, PVC rigid pipes, PVC ceiling panels, PVC friction pads, etc.;
c. In PVC wood-plastic flooring, PE wax effectively reduces friction and extends the flooring’s service life;
d. In PVC fire hoses, PE wax enhances flexibility and anti-aging properties.
e. The polar components of PE wax act as an internal lubricant compatible with plastics, while the non-polar components provide external lubrication and demolding properties, delivering excellent anti-blocking and flow control.
f. PE wax is the only known plastic lubricant that combines both internal and external lubrication while maintaining high transparency and having minimal impact on gelation.
g. Furthermore, PE wax‘s low volatility is crucial for calendering and vacuum degassing. As an internal lubricant, it reduces cohesive forces between polymer molecules, thereby lowering internal friction heat generation and improving melt flow. As an external lubricant, it reduces friction between the polymer melt and hot metal processing surfaces, forming a lubricating film at the interface.
