SorWax 20P – White semi-dry powder
Oxidized Polyethylene Wax (OPE Wax) is a type of polyethylene that has been modified through an oxidation process and has acquired special properties. This material is classified as wax and is used in various industries due to its specific physical and chemical properties.
Characteristics and properties of oxidized polyethylene wax:
High chemical resistance: oxidized polyethylene wax has high resistance to acids, bases and chemicals.
High melting point: This material has a high melting point and does not decompose easily at high temperatures.
Water compatibility: Due to the oxidation process, this material acquires hydrophilic properties and dissolves better in aqueous systems.
Abrasion resistance: Due to its special structure, oxidized polyethylene wax has good resistance to abrasion and scratches.
Lubricating properties: This wax is used as a lubricant in many industrial processes.
Application:
Applications of oxidized polyethylene wax:
Plastics and rubber industry: As a lubricant and process improver in the production of plastic and rubber products.
Production of masterbatches and plastic compounds: As a lubricant and thermal stabilizer.
Paints and coatings: Used in the production of industrial paints and coatings as an additive to improve waterproof, anti-wear and gloss properties.
Textile industry: To improve hydrophilic properties in some textile processes.
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries: As a modifier for physical and chemical properties in combination with other chemicals.
The oxidation of this material makes it suitable for use in many industries that require a combination of chemical resistance, lubricating properties and surface properties.
