Our commitment to quality, consistency, and customer-specific solutions has established us as a leading source for premium PE wax in industries ranging from plastics manufacturing to coatings and inks. This resource details our product offerings and the distinct advantages of partnering with a reliable chemical exporter like ZÜMRÜT.

What Are Polyethylene Wax Flakes? A Key Industrial Additive

Polyethylene wax (PE wax) flakes are synthetic, low-molecular-weight polymers known for their exceptional lubricity, thermal stability, and water resistance. Supplied in a convenient flake form for easy handling and melting, this versatile chemical additive is essential for enhancing process efficiency and product performance. Key properties that make it indispensable include:

  • High Melting Point (100-135°C): Ensures stability under high-temperature processing.

  • Excellent Lubrication: Reduces internal and external friction in machinery and formulations.

  • Superior Dispersant Properties: Ensures even distribution of pigments and fillers.

Key Benefits of Sourcing PE Wax from a Specialist Supplier

When you partner with a dedicated supplier like ZÜMRÜT, you gain access to products that deliver tangible performance enhancements:

  • Boost Production Efficiency: Our flakes act as powerful process lubricants, increasing output speeds in extrusion and molding while reducing energy consumption.

  • Enhance End-Product Quality: Achieve superior surface finish with improved scratch resistance, gloss control, and anti-blocking properties in coatings and plastics.

  • Ensure Batch-to-Batch Consistency: As a reliable exporter, we guarantee uniform particle size and chemical composition, which is critical for your quality control.

  • Access Technical Expertise: Our team provides unparalleled technical support to help you select the optimal grade for your application.

Comprehensive Product Range: Types & Grades

We stock a full inventory of PE wax types to meet various industrial requirements and export standards.

Type Key Properties Common Applications
Homopolymer PE Wax High crystallinity, hard, excellent lubrication Plastics processing (PVC, PP), printing inks, coatings
Oxidized PE Wax Polar groups, enhanced emulsification, compatibility Water-based coatings, textile finishing, and polish emulsions
Copolymer PE Wax Flexible, improved solubility, lower melt point Hot melt adhesives, cable compounds, specialty polymer blends
