Introduction to Polyethylene Wax Pastille

Polyethylene Wax Pastille is a synthetic, high-performance additive widely used across industries for its thermal stability, lubricity, and chemical resistance. Derived from ethylene polymerization, these small, pelletized waxes enhance processing efficiency and product performance in plastics, coatings, and more. Their uniform shape ensures easy handling and precise dosing, making them indispensable for manufacturers prioritizing quality and consistency.

At ZÜMRÜT International Kimya Co., we specialize in supplying premium-grade PE Wax Pastille to meet diverse industrial demands, ensuring optimal results for your applications.

Chemical and Physical Properties

Polyethylene Wax Pastille boasts unique characteristics that drive its industrial adoption:

• Appearance: White or translucent, free-flowing pastilles.
• Melting Point: 100°C to 140°C (depending on molecular weight).
• Molecular Weight: Ranges from 1,000 to 20,000 g/mol.
• Density: 0.91–0.96 g/cm³.
• Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents at elevated temperatures.

These properties contribute to its effectiveness as a processing aid, dispersant, and release agent.

Production Process

Polyethylene Wax Pastille is synthesized through:

1. Polymerization: Ethylene monomers are polymerized under controlled heat and pressure.
2. Cracking: High-molecular-weight polyethylene is thermally cracked to achieve the desired molecular weights.
3. Pastillation: Molten wax is cooled and shaped into uniform pastilles for easy transport and usage.

This streamlined process ensures consistent quality and performance.

Types and Grades of Polyethylene Wax Pastille

Different grades cater to specific industrial needs:

• Low Molecular Weight (LMW): Offers superior lubricity and compatibility with plastics. Ideal for PVC processing and masterbatches.
• High Molecular Weight (HMW): Provides enhanced hardness and thermal stability, suitable for coatings and inks.
• Oxidized Grades: Improved polarity for adhesives and rubber processing.

ZÜMRÜT International Kimya Co. offers customizable grades to align with your operational requirements.
