PE-Wax Introduction

Polyethylene wax is a low-molecular-weight polyethylene material characterized by low melt viscosity and good thermal stability. Differences in raw-material source, molecular structure, molecular weight distribution and refining process give PE waxes distinct melting and processing characteristics.

Huajin offers cracking, refined and compounded polyethylene waxes for different performance requirements.

Key Features
  • Sources & Molecular Characteristics

    PE waxes can be produced by controlled polyethylene cracking, recovered from wax fractions formed during polyethylene production, or developed through selected wax combinations. Different production routes create differences in branching, molecular weight distribution, composition and melting behavior.

  • Flow & Lubrication

    The relatively low molecular weight of PE wax provides low melt viscosity and good flow, while its non-polar polyethylene structure delivers effective external lubrication and release. Different molecular profiles allow these characteristics to be tailored to specific processing requirements.

  • Wetting & Dispersion

    Suitable melt viscosity and flow behavior help PE wax wet pigments and fillers and reduce resistance during mixing and dispersion. Proper grade selection can improve dispersion efficiency and processing behavior in masterbatch systems.

  • Molecular Weight Distribution & Thermal Behavior

    Molecular weight distribution and low-melting fractions strongly influence the melting range and DSC profile of PE wax. Further refining and removal of low-melting components can produce a more concentrated composition, a narrower melting range and more consistent thermal behavior.
