Supplier of PE Wax Polyethylene wax in Central and South America

Description of Polyethylene wax (PE Wax)

Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) is a synthetic, ultra-low molecular-weight polyethylene with ethylene monomer chains. It is available as a byproduct of polyethylene production and in both HDPE and LDPE forms. It is widely used in various industries as a processing aid, lubricant, activator, dispersing agent, and release agent.

Also known for its hardness, toughness, low molecular weight, and excellent low-temperature properties. It is highly resistant to water and chemicals, making it suitable for applications in coatings, adhesives, inks, plastics, rubber, and more. Additionally, it improves slip and scuff resistance in ink films and enhances the melting points of hydrocarbon waxes.

Polyethylene wax is available in powder, flake, or granule forms, and its properties can be tailored by adjusting its molecular weight and branching. Our products are produced under strict QC supervision following ASTM standards.

Because of its exceptional stability, moisture resistance, and flexibility, PE Wax is a critical commodity to different industries across Middle and South America.

Uses of Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax)

Plastics Industry

Polyethylene wax finds widespread use as a dispersing agent and lubricant in the plastics industry, particularly in polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and ABS resins. It increases melt flow, surface finish, and processing efficiency, which makes it easier to produce plastic and cheaper. It also enhances mold release properties, which is a need in injection molding and extrusion process.

Coatings & Paints

In the coatings and paint industry, Polyethylene wax provides scratch resistance, anti-blocking, and matting. It finds extensive use in paints, varnishes, and industrial coatings to enhance durability and withstand wear and tear. Due to its water-repellent properties, it is extremely valuable in tropical and humid weather conditions.

Adhesives & Hot-Melt Glue

Manufacturers utilize polyethylene wax to enhance thermal stability and increase viscosity in adhesives. It also acts as a key component in hot-melt adhesives, packaging adhesives, bookbinding, and wood finishing. High-heat resistance offers tough bonds in humidity-filled rainforest conditions to dry deserts.

PE Wax improves gloss, slip resistance, and abrasion resistance in printing toners and inks. It is crucial in offset, flexographic, and gravure printing to create high-quality prints with excellent durability.

Rubber & Tire Industry

Polyethylene wax is employed as a processing aid in rubber manufacturing primarily to provide flexibility, resistance to wear, and dispersion of fillers such as carbon black.

Polyethylene wax well-suited for tire manufacturing and other rubber products that require higher strength and durability.

Candles & Polishes

Polyethylene wax is common in candles and polish used as a means to enhance burning stability, gloss, and smoothness. It has broad use as a component in automobile and furniture polishes that provide scratch and weather resistance along with an extremely high-gloss appearance that lasts.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Cosmetics manufacturers use PE Wax in lipsticks, creams, and lotions as a waterproofing and thickening agent. It adds to the texture, stability, and shelf life of cosmetic products, ensuring a smooth and comfortable application process.

Packing

We pack the material in 25kg PP bags to prevent moisture absorption. For additional protection, we place the PP bags inside Jumbo bags.

According to our customer’s inquiry, we offer PE Wax in: Jumbo bags, PP bags on pallets and shrink, and pp bags in jumbo bags.

Polyethylene wax packed in PP bags palletized and shirinked  fits into a 40-foot container and weighs 25 tons net weight.
