Iran PE wax (Polyethylene Wax)

Iran PE wax raw material is ethylene monomer chains with (C2H4)n chemical formula because ethylene gas is the main base of Iran PE wax.

(LDPE )low density molecular weight polyethylene polymer and (HDPE) high density molecular weight polyethylene polymer are famous grades of this product which because of molecular weight it will have different appearance such as viscosity, hardness, melt point, reactivity etc.
so PE Wax a byproduct of polyethylene producing.

Polyethylene wax is a type of synthetic wax known for
its unique physical properties, such as hardness, a high
melting point, and resistance to heat and chemicals.

Iran Polyethylene wax is a low molecular polymer derived from ethylene gas. It is a solid product processes into different forms like powder, flakes and granules, depending on the application. PE wax has a high melting point above 100 C and excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial uses.

Iran polyethylene wax premium-grade meets the specific requirements of different industries. Our product is famous for its quality, consistency, and good performance in required applications.

Benefits of Polyethylene Wax

  • High Melting Point: PE wax has a melting point typically ranging from 100°C to 140°C, which fining it to perform well in high-temperature applications without losing its characteristics .
  • Lubricating Properties: It is a fine internal and external lubricant, especially in the plastic and rubber industries, improving the flow processing and reducing mechanical wear.
  • Chemical friendly : Polyethylene wax is resistant to chemicals like acids, alkalis, and solvents so can be suitable for chemical mixing and neighboring.
  • Good Spreading : it guides to spread  pigments and other additives in products like paints, coatings, and inks, ensuring a consistent finish.

Iran Polyethylene Wax Industrial uses

  1. Plastics lubricant : One of the most important uses of Iran polyethylene wax is as a lubricant in the plastic manufacturing industry. It improves the processing of polymers like PVC and polyethylene, making extrusion and molding processes more easy. PE wax helps to reduce friction between polymer molecules to smoother material flow and less wear on machinery.
  2. PVC industry : PE wax is a part of producing  PVC for extrusion processes to improve the final product’s surface finish, increase output , and decrease  energy consumption. It acts as both an internal and external lubricant, enhancing the material’s processability.
  3. Paints and Coatings: In the coatings industry, polyethylene wax serves as a dispersing agent that ensures even distribution of pigments and additives. This leads to a smoother surface and enhances the durability of the final product. Its chemical resistance also helps protect the coating from environmental wear and tear.
  4. Adhesives: Polyethylene wax helps to the performance of hot-melt adhesives by improving their thermal stability, flexibility, and strength. It is commonly used in applications like packaging, bookbinding, and woodworking.
  5. Rubber : In rubber manufacturing , PE wax performs as a processing aid, helping improve the flow of rubber compounds during manufacturing. It also improves the mechanical properties of rubber products, making them more durable and easier to handle.

different kinds of Polyethylene (PE wax )

 PE wax Main grades are based on :

1- Low density molecular weight polyethylene polymer (LDPE ) and high density molecular weight polyethylene polymer (HDPE)

2- Polymers can have side chains and branches spreading from one main chain . Side chains or branches comes out of the same units as the main polymer chains because The branches are of side reactions during polymerization.

The length of the side chains or branches is different : long- or short-branch polymers so Long branches are comb-like, random, or star-shape . However, they do not connect to another polymer chain.

3-Monomer / polymer Monomers with two or more end groups are likely to support branching. For a polymer to classify as branch polymer the side chains or branches must comprise of a minimum of one complete monomer unit.

Oxidized PE wax

Homopolymer PE wax polyethylene wax functionalizes by oxidation and adds acid and ester to the polyethylene wax and  Oxidized polyethylene wax is polar and has different compatibility properties that polyethylene homo polymer. This functionality results emulsification of oxidized polyethylene wax.

different between Pe wax and paraffin wax

Paraffin wax is produced as a by-product of oil refining. PE wax has a molecular weight which is usually less than half that of most PE waxes. So, paraffin wax usually has a lower melting point and is softer than PE wax.

Forms

Iran PE wax forms in flakes, granulated or powder which are in different sizes too.

Applications;

PE wax in films, tubes, plastic parts, laminates, packaging, automotive, electrical, tire , master batch , creams , body lotions , paints and coating , detergent and cleaners , heat resistance , Hydrophobic Nature .
Packing

is usually 25 kg bags or jumbo bags .
