Polyethylene wax is a type of wax derived from polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer. It is a low molecular weight, low-melting wax with a wide range of applications. It is used as a lubricant, release agent, and anti-blocking agent in the plastics industry, as well as a slip agent and anti-blocking agent in the paper industry. It is also used as a coating agent in the food industry, as a mold release agent in the rubber industry, and as a wax emulsion in the cosmetics industry. Polyethylene wax is a cost-effective alternative to other waxes, such as paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax. It is also more resistant to heat and oxidation than other waxes, making it a popular choice for many industries. Some companies in the polyethylene wax market include ExxonMobil, Sasol, Clariant, and Koster Keunen. Show Less Read more
