Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax)
Polyethylene wax (PE wax) is a synthetic wax consisting of low molecular weight Polyethylene chains. Its processing characteristics depend on molecular weight distribution, chain branching, crystallinity and oxidation level. These structural parameters govern melting behavior, melt viscosity, hardness and compatibility with polymer matrices. Commercial grades are supplied as powders, flakes, beads or prills, with particle size and physical form selected according to dosing requirements, dispersion conditions and processing methods.
Lubrication
PE wax provides internal or external lubrication according to its compatibility with the polymer matrix. Compatible fractions reduce resistance within the melt, while less compatible fractions lubricate metal interfaces. Grade selection and dosage determine the balance between melt flow, fusion behavior and equipment adhesion.
Mold release
PE wax facilitates demolding through preferential migration toward the polymer-mold interface, where a wax-rich layer reduces adhesion and sliding resistance. Release efficiency depends on compatibility, dosage and processing temperature. Excessive surface accumulation can impair subsequent printing, coating or bonding by reducing surface wetting characteristics.
