Polyethylene wax has been widely used in the production of plastic masterbatch due to its superior performance and economical price. However, given the various quality grades of pe wax in the market, it is necessary for users to effectively grasp the quality grades of polyethylene wax used in relevant products during use, in order to avoid neglecting the quality requirements of relevant products while pursuing economic benefits.  Welcome to Sainuo Chinaplas booth H15 J63!

Low molecular weight polyethylene, commonly known as polyethylene wax, refers to polyethylene with a molecular weight of around 1000-5000. According to different manufacturing methods, polyethylene wax can be divided into two types: polymerization type and cracking type. The former is formed by the polymerization of small molecule olefins through high and low pressure methods, while the latter is produced by the thermal cracking of polyethylene. Due to the different molecular structures, poly (B) waxes can be divided into two types: high density and low density, which mainly depends on the number and length of branch chains in their molecules. At present, there are many domestic and foreign manufacturers producing polyethylene wax. Foreign manufacturers generally use polymerization method for production, while domestic manufacturers use cracking method for production.

Color masterbatch is the most representative type of plastic masterbatch, and polyethylene wax is widely used in color masterbatch processing. The purpose of adding polyethylene wax is not only to improve the processing performance of the masterbatch system, but more importantly, to promote the dispersion of pigments in the masterbatch, reduce pigment particle size, accelerate the wetting between the carrier resin and pigments, increase their previous affinity, thereby improving the compatibility between pigments and carrier resin, and to a certain extent, improving the dispersion level of pigments.

The dispersion of pigments is crucial for color masterbatches, and the quality of the masterbatch mainly depends on the dispersion status of the pigments. A well dispersed pigment masterbatch has a high coloring power, resulting in good coloring quality of the product and low coloring cost. Polyethylene wax can improve the dispersion level of pigments to a certain extent and is the most commonly used dispersant in the production of color masterbatches. In addition, polyethylene wax can also improve the flowability of masterbatches, increase production rates, and improve product processing performance, especially for polyethylene hydrocarbon color masterbatches.
