Oxidized Polyethylene Wax (OPE Wax)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
OPE Wax is a Technical Grade synthetic wax produced by the controlled oxidation of polyethylene. It features functional acid groups that provide superior emulsification properties and metal release.
This wax serves as a high-efficiency external lubricant in PVC processing, improving fusion control and surface gloss. It is characterized by its high softening point and excellent thermal stability during high-temperature extrusion.
As a multifunctional additive, it is used to produce stable aqueous emulsions for floor polishes and textile finishes. It provides scuff resistance and improves the mechanical properties of coatings and inks.
APPLICATIONS
- PVC Processing: Acts as a potent lubricant to prevent sticking to metal surfaces and optimize the extrusion process.
- Emulsions & Polishes: Used in the manufacture of floor, car, and leather polishes for high gloss and durability.
- Textile Finishing: Improves the sewability and tear strength of fabrics by reducing friction during processing.
SAFETY & RISKS
Generally Non-Hazardous. Avoid inhalation of dust during handling; use Dust Goggles and Safety Gloves in production areas.
PACKAGING
Supplied in 25 kg Kraft Paper Bags or Jumbo Bags (500-1000 kg).
