Rubber is inherently difficult to process and mold due to its high viscosity. Rubber is also susceptible to decomposition and exposure to ozone and ultraviolet (Uv) light. Therefore, various additives are used to improve the machinability of rubber and reduce its destruction under the influence of the external environment. A traditional additive used to improve the machinability of rubber and increase the resistance of rubber compounds to ozone is polyethylene wax.

When processing rubber, polyethylene wax is used to improve the dispersion of the filler into the system and reduce shrinkage. This increases the speed of extrusion molding and the fluidity of the mold, which facilitates easy removal from the mold and improves the surface quality of products after peeling. The recommended dosage is from 2 to 10% (depending on the degree of filler loading).

Moreover, the use of wax significantly improves elasticity, increases the wear resistance of the final product.

We recommend the brands of polyethylene wax K1112-P, K1112-G, K1113-F for the production of rubber products.
