Properties:

LDPE Wax is a wax-like substance that has a reduced molecular weight, melting temperature, and melt viscosity. It can be used with microcrystalline wax to increase melt viscosity, solvent resistance, and heat stability.

CANDLES

To increase heat stability, ductility, and consistency, CANDLES LDPE WAX can be used with paraffin waxes.

COLOUR MASTERBATCHES

High MFI base polymers used to make colour master batches can have LDPE WAX added to them to increase their dispersibility.

POLISHES

LDPE WAX can be used to increase the flexibility and water resistance of petroleum-derived wax used to make floor polishes, shoe polishes, vehicle & furniture polishes, and other polishes.

PRINTING INK

LDPE WAX FOR PRINTING INKS can be combined with solvent-based printing inks to increase surface smoothness, water repellency, and scratch resistance.

PAPERS

When sheets are laminated or coated, LDPE WAX can offer water proofing and water repellency.

PROCESSING OF PLASTICS

Extrusion and injection molding operations can benefit from the usage of LDPE WAX as a surface enhancer and processing assistance.
