OPE wax used in masterbatch processing

OPE wax, or oxidized polyethylene wax, serves as a crucial additive in
masterbatch processing.
Highly dispersible: OPE wax possesses polar carboxyl and hydroxyl groups
along its molecular chain. This unique structure confers exceptional affinity
for pigments and fillers.
Dual lubrication: It functions as both an ‘internal lubricant’ and
‘external lubricant’ during processing. Internal lubrication reduces the
viscosity of the plastic melt, facilitating smoother flow and enhancing
production efficiency. External lubrication forms a protective layer between
the melt and equipment surfaces, preventing material adhesion and easing
demoulding.
Quality Enhancement: Beyond its intrinsic properties, OPE wax significantly
improves masterbatch appearance. It elevates surface gloss and smoothness,
delivering a physical ‘brightening’ effect that lends a more premium
aesthetic to the final product.
