Ope wax highly effective internal and external lubricant

Oxidised polyethylene wax is a versatile polymeric material with extensive applications across plastics, coatings, inks and other sectors. Its unique lubricating properties enable it to play a significant role in these fields. Specifically, the lubricating effect of oxidised polyethylene wax manifests primarily in reducing the coefficient of friction between materials, enhancing processing fluidity, and improving product surface gloss.
During plastic processing, oxidised polyethylene wax can serve as an internal lubricant. It is compatible with plastic resins, reducing intermolecular friction in the molten state to enhance melt flow and processing properties.
In the coatings and inks sector, polyethylene oxide wax is predominantly employed as an external lubricant. In these applications, it forms a smooth film on the surface of coatings or ink layers, minimising friction between the coating and substrate or between multiple coating layers.
