Polyethylene waxes are high purity, high melting point materials that can be used in a wide range of applications including hot melt adhesives, metal protection, rubber processing and bitumen modification.
 

Polyethylene waxes can be made in two main grades, emulsifiable and non-emulfiable waxes. The difference between both the grades are in relation to the molecular weight. It is hard, white, translucent, tasteless, non-toxic, odourless, resistant to water and chemical materials available as pellets, powders or flakes.
 

Polyethylene wax can be manufactured using either polyethylene of from ethylene itself.It is water white prill, low molecular weight, low viscosity, moderate range melt point .

polyethylene wax are suitable for use in numerous applications such as printing ink, thermoplastics, and anti-sticking and flow control agents in many elastomers.

It is used in  polishes textile finishing, cosmetics, crayons, paper coating, leather, adhesive, pigment, lubricants, plastic, paints, ink and packaging industry.
 

The many benefits of polyethylene wax include assisting as a antiscuff agent in printing inks by promoting surface hardness due to its crystalline structure. In rubber, assisting as a mold flow, extrusion, mold release agent, internal lubricant, and preventing tack in green rubber.
