Supplier of PE Wax - Premium Grades of Polyethylene wax

Q: How do I choose a reliable polyethylene wax supplier?

Choose a Polyethylene Wax Supplier that provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch, consistent grade-to-grade quality, ISO-compliant documentation, flexible packaging, reliable bulk logistics and formulation support. SUHA International Trading exports PE wax FOB Jebel Ali (UAE) and Mersin (Turkey) with confirmed quotes within 24 hours.

Q: What is the difference between HDPE wax and LDPE wax?

HDPE wax has higher molecular weight (6,000–10,000 g/mol), higher density (>0.95 g/cm³) and higher hardness — ideal for mold release and masterbatch. LDPE wax is softer (2,000–5,000 g/mol) and offers better lubrication and flexibility for coatings, adhesives and rubber.

Q: What is oxidized polyethylene wax used for?

Oxidized polyethylene wax contains polar carboxyl groups (acid value 15–30 mg KOH/g) that improve compatibility with polar polymers. It is used in rigid PVC processing, printing inks to prevent pigment settling, and polishes to boost gloss and anti-blocking performance.

Q: What is the CAS number and HS code of polyethylene wax?

The CAS number of polyethylene wax is 9002-88-4. The most common HS code for export is 3404.90 (artificial and prepared waxes), though some grades classify under 2712.90 depending on destination customs rules.

Q: What is the price of polyethylene wax per ton?

As an indicative range, bulk PE wax is priced around $1,200–$2,600 per metric ton FOB, depending on grade. LDPE wax is typically the most economical, while oxidized and high-purity HDPE grades carry a premium. Contact us for a confirmed FOB or CIF quote based on grade, quantity and destination. For a lower-cost alternative, see our paraffin wax price guide.

Q: What is polyethylene wax used for in masterbatch?

In masterbatch, polyethylene wax acts as a pigment dispersing agent and carrier, typically at 5–10% loading. It ensures uniform pigment distribution, improves flow, prevents agglomeration and delivers consistent color concentrates.

Q: Is polyethylene wax safe for food contact applications?

Selected polyethylene wax grades comply with FDA 21 CFR 175.105 and 21 CFR 177.1520 for indirect food contact. Always confirm the specific grade certification with your supplier before using PE wax in food-contact packaging.

Q: How is polyethylene wax packaged for export?

Polyethylene wax is exported in 25 kg PP or kraft bags, 500–1000 kg jumbo (FIBC) bags, or on shrink-wrapped pallets. A standard 20' FCL holds approximately 18–22 MT depending on form (powder, flakes or pastilles).

Q: What forms of PE wax are available?

PE wax is supplied as micronized powder (10–100 microns) for fast dispersion, flakes (1–5 mm) for cost-effective dosing, and pastilles or beads (2–5 mm) for dust-free automated handling.

Overview

What Is Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax)?

Polyethylene wax (PE wax) is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer (CAS 9002-88-4) used as a lubricant, dispersing agent and processing aid across plastics, masterbatch, PVC, inks, coatings, rubber and hot-melt adhesives. It typically has a melting point of 100–130 °C, density of 0.92–0.97 g/cm³ and molecular weight of 2,000–10,000 g/mol.

Polyethylene wax is engineered from polymerized ethylene for high hardness, thermal stability and broad polymer compatibility. Unlike paraffin wax, PE wax delivers superior pigment dispersion and surface-modifying performance, which makes it a core additive for modern plastics and coatings production. The chemical structure (C₂H₄)ₙ provides excellent chemical resistance and low shrinkage. Explore our full polyethylene wax product range for detailed grade options.

As a specialist PE wax exporter, we supply white to yellowish material in powder, flake or pastille form, including oxidized polyethylene wax grades with acid values of 15–30 mg KOH/g for enhanced polarity and compatibility with polar polymers. Buyers sourcing industrial polyethylene wax for high-volume production rely on consistent batch-to-batch quality — which is exactly what a professional Polyethylene Wax Supplier must guarantee through documented COA control.

Whether you need polyethylene wax for masterbatch, polyethylene wax for PVC, or polyethylene wax for coating, matching the correct grade to your process is the single most important sourcing decision. The sections below cover PE wax types, manufacturing, properties, specifications, applications and export logistics in full detail.

ℹ HDPE, LDPE & How PE Wax Is Made

Across these forms we supply both HDPE wax (high molecular weight 6,000–10,000 g/mol, density >0.95 g/cm³, high hardness for mold release and masterbatch) and LDPE wax (softer, 2,000–5,000 g/mol, for lubrication in coatings, adhesives and rubber). Polyethylene wax is produced by direct polymerization of ethylene, thermal cracking of high molecular weight PE, or controlled oxidation to introduce polar groups — with tightly controlled molecular-weight distribution in every batch.
