Polyethylene wax 012 (PE wax) is a low-molecular-weight polymer additive used in many polymer industries thanks to its lubricating effect, suitable thermal stability and dispersibility. This product is supplied in different grades and in powder, flake or granule form, and depending on the production method and molecular structure it can have different hardness, melting point and viscosity. Because of its stable chemical structure and low friction, polyethylene wax helps improve the processability of materials and the surface quality of the final product.

Key features of polyethylene wax include effective lubrication, low viscosity in the molten state, suitable thermal stability, high hardness, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, water repellency and dispersibility. By reducing friction and the adhesion of materials to the metal surfaces of equipment, it can also help improve material flow and make production easier. Depending on the formulation, polyethylene wax also helps improve surface quality, increase abrasion resistance and control the gloss or matt finish of the product surface.

Polyethylene wax is used as a highly effective external lubricant in PVC compounds, where it improves the production process and reduces the adhesion of the melt to equipment. Other applications include the production of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) masterbatches and use as an external lubricant in wood plastic composite (WPC) products. This product is also used as a dispersing agent, a release agent and a lubricant in various polymer formulations.
