DESCRIPTION
LDPE Wax is a by-product of LDPE Polymerization process. It is white sticky solid at room temperature.
PROPERTIES
LDPE Wax is a wax like product characterized by lower molecular weight, melting point and melt viscosity. It is similar to microcrystalline wax and can be blended with it to improve the heat stability, melt viscosity and solvent resistance.

PROPERTIES
CANDLES
LDPE WAX can be blended with paraffin waxes
to improve heat stability, ductility and
consistence.
COLOR MASTERBATCHES
LDPE WAX can be added to high MFI base
polymers used to manufacture color
master-batch to improve the dispersability.
POLISHES
LDPE WAX can be added to
petroleum derived wax used to manufacture
floor polishes, shoe polishes car &
furniture polishes to make them more
flexible and water repellent.
PRINTING INK
LDPE WAX can be mixed with
solvent based printing inks to improve the
scratch resistance, water repellency and
surface smoothness.
PAPERS
LDPE
WAX can provide water proofing and water
repellency for lamination or coating of
papers.
PLASTIC PROCESSING
LDPE
WAX can be used as processing aid and
surface improvement for extrusion &
injection molding processes.
