Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax)
Polyethylene wax is produced by polymerization or cracking of polyethylene. It combines good internal/external lubrication with pigment dispersion and is one of the most widely used wax types in plastics, masterbatch and coatings. Heyee Chem supplies PE wax in various melt indices and particle sizes to meet the needs of PVC, masterbatch and powder coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What role does PE wax play in masterbatch?
As a dispersant and flow modifier, it helps pigments disperse evenly and improves pelletizing flow, enhancing the masterbatch appearance and maximum filler loading.
How to combine PE wax and FT wax?
Typically PE wax serves as the main dispersant while FT wax acts as the external lubricant, balancing dispersion and mold release; the ratio is adjusted per formulation system.
Which PE wax for powder coatings?
Choose a high-melting, fine-particle PE wax to improve coating scratch resistance and leveling.
