Polyethylene wax in PVC

Polyethylene wax is actively used for the manufacture of various PVC compositions and productsmade of PVC pipes,window profiles,wall panels,Lining,siding,cable ducts,as well as foamedproducts.


PVC is a thermally unstable polymer.For its effective processing,additional additives,stabilizersand additives,including lubricants,are required.


Both oxidized and non-oxidized polyethylene waxes are used as lubricants.


Non-oxidized wax is used as an externallubricant and heat stabilizer.Coming out of the melt,itforms a lubricating layer at the boundary of the plastic melt with metal,reduces friction duringextrusion,and protects the mixture from sticking to hot metal parts of the equipment.


Polyethylene wax also prevents rapid discoloration of heat-sensitive PVC and gives shine to thesurface of the finished product.


The molecular chain of oxidized polyethylene wax has a certain number of carbonyl and hydroxylgroups,so it has high solubility with fillers,pigments and PVC resin.Due to this,the wax acts as an internal lubricant for PVC.


We recommend the brands of polyethylene is K1112-P, K1112-G, K1113-F, K1115-P for the production and processing of PVC.
