OPE wax used as lubricant in PVC processing

Oxidized polyethylene wax possesses multiple significant advantages due to its unique chemical structure, making it an indispensable additive in polymer processing, particularly in PVC and color masterbatch applications.
The following details its primary benefits:
1. Exceptional Lubricity
High-efficiency external lubrication: Forms a stable, uniform lubricating film between polymer melt and processing equipment metal surfaces, significantly reducing friction and adhesion.
2. Superior Polar Compatibility
Chemical Modification Advantage: The oxidation process introduces polar functional groups such as carboxyl and carbonyl groups.
Excellent Compatibility with Polar Resins: It exhibits enhanced affinity with polar polymers like PVC, PET, and PA, dispersing more uniformly within the resin matrix without readily separating.
