Wax

Process-aid waxes

Process aids such as polyethylene wax, EBS and amide waxes ease mould release, improve flow and regulate pigment dispersion. They are used at low loadings (0.2–2%); the wrong choice causes surface marks and sticking. They are an indispensable input of masterbatch and PVC compound production.

Overview

Wax is the standard grade of the Wax family in the additives group. It is used in applications such as masterbatch carrier and dispersant, pvc internal and external lubricant, mould release and flow modifier. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Masterbatch carrier and dispersant
  • PVC internal and external lubricant
  • Mould release and flow modifier
  • Film slip and antiblock additive

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for Wax are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
