Oxidized polyethylene wax used as plasticiser

Oxidized polyethylene wax is frequently employed in plastics processing as an
environmentally friendly plasticiser and internal/external lubricant, finding
particularly extensive application in PVC products. It enhances processing
efficiency by improving melt flow and reducing viscosity, while also
enhancing the surface properties of the finished product.
‌Primary Functions and Effects‌:
‌Lubrication and Plasticisation: Provides balanced internal and external
lubrication for PVC, reducing extrusion torque, promoting plasticisation, and
improving melt flow to increase output.
‌Surface Performance Enhancement: Produces smooth, even plastic surfaces with
increased gloss and transparency, while improving ageing resistance and
scratch resistance.
‌‌Typical Application Areas‌:
‌PVC Product Processing: Extensively employed in manufacturing PVC films,
profiles, pipes, injection-moulded parts, and foamed sheets. Can partially
substitute other plasticisers to reduce costs.
‌Other Industries: Also utilised in hot-melt adhesives, coatings, and printing
inks to provide anti-blocking, abrasion resistance, and gloss effects.
