Oxidized polyethylene wax (Oxidized PE Wax) is a modified polyethylene wax produced via controlled oxidation, introducing polar functional groups such as carboxyl (–COOH) and hydroxyl (–OH) into its molecular structure. These functional groups significantly enhance compatibility with polar resins, pigments, and fillers, making oxidized PE wax a highly versatile additive for improving processing performance, dispersion, lubrication, and surface quality across multiple industrial applications.
As a professional supplier of polymer additives, our company provides a wide range of oxidized PE wax products:

Oxidized PE Wax is widely used in industrial applications due to its excellent lubrication, dispersion, thermal stability, and compatibility with polar materials.
Oxidized PE Wax is widely used as a lubricant, dispersant, gloss enhancer, and coupling agent in plastic processing. In PVC applications, it acts as an internal lubricant, improving melt flow, surface smoothness, and demolding performance. It is also an effective dispersant and lubricant in color masterbatches and additive masterbatches.
In coatings and inks, oxidized PE Wax serves as a dispersant, rheology modifier, matting agent, and scratch-resistant additive. It enhances pigment wetting, improves gloss, increases abrasion resistance, and boosts print quality and durability.
It can be applied as a softening agent for textiles and a gloss enhancer for leather, improving surface smoothness, flexibility, and water resistance in finished products.
Oxidized PE Wax is also suitable for hot-melt adhesives, sealants, cable compounds, waterborne inks, and waterborne coatings, where improved lubrication, dispersion, and compatibility are required.
