OPE-701 OPE-256

OPE-WAX Introduction

Oxidized polyethylene wax is produced by introducing oxygen-containing polar functional groups into a polyethylene chain. The combination of a polyethylene backbone and controlled polarity provides balanced lubrication, fusion control, dispersion, release and interfacial compatibility.

Key Features

Structure & Polarity

Controlled oxidation introduces oxygen-containing polar groups while retaining the polyethylene structure. This gives OPE wax a balanced combination of lubrication, polarity and interfacial affinity toward polymers, pigments and fillers.
Fusion & Lubrication Balance

In PVC processing, OPE wax promotes fusion while maintaining balanced lubrication. It helps regulate torque and melt flow, supporting efficient fusion and a stable processing window.
Release & Plate-Out Control

OPE wax combines strong metal release with good compatibility in PVC systems. Controlled interfacial interaction reduces adhesion and friction while helping limit lubricant migration, plate-out and deposits during continuous processing.
Compatibility & Optical Performance

Good compatibility helps OPE wax distribute uniformly within polymer systems and reduces uneven migration. In transparent formulations, suitable grades can support good clarity, low haze and stable processing.
Dispersion & Interfacial Performance

OPE wax improves the wetting and dispersion of pigments and fillers while supporting compatibility with the polymer matrix, making it an effective dispersion and processing aid.

Applications Advanced additive solutions for diverse polymer applications

Rigid PVC & CPVC

OPE wax promotes fusion while maintaining lubrication and strong release, helping rigid PVC and CPVC achieve stable processing, clean metal release and longer continuous production cycles.

Typical Applications
Foam Board · WPC · SPC · Profiles · Pipes · CPVC Products
Recommended Grade: OPE-701

Flexible PVC

In plasticized PVC systems, OPE wax provides lubrication, release and flow control without adding excessive melt resistance, supporting smooth processing and stable surface quality in film applications.

Typical Applications
Calendered Film · Heat-Shrink Film · Flexible PVC Products
Recommended Grade: OPE-256

Transparent PVC

Good compatibility and controlled migration allow selected OPE wax grades to combine lubrication and release with clarity and low haze, making them suitable for transparency-sensitive PVC systems.

Typical Applications
Transparent Tubing · Transparent Film · Medical & Technical Transparent Products
Recommended Grade: OPE-256

Masterbatch & Compounds

OPE wax improves pigment and filler wetting while supporting melt flow, helping achieve more uniform dispersion in masterbatch and filled polymer systems.

Typical Applications
Color Masterbatch · Filler Masterbatch · Polymer Compounds
