Key Performance Features

• Melting Point and Viscosity: With a melting range of 110–160 °C, PP Wax delivers strong lubrication and flow properties, ensuring suitability for various thermal processing methods.
• Compatibility: It demonstrates excellent compatibility with polymers such as PE, PP, PVAc, and EPR, facilitating improved flow behavior, enhanced demolding, and consistent processing results.
• Dual Lubrication Effect: It functions as both an internal and external lubricant, reducing intermolecular friction while preventing adhesion to equipment, thereby increasing processing efficiency and product quality.
• Excellent Dispersibility: It improves pigment and filler dispersion, significantly enhancing surface gloss, uniformity, and mechanical performance in end products.

Applications

Its ability to function as both an internal and external lubricant, combined with excellent pigment and filler dispersion, makes it indispensable in multiple processing environments. The main application areas include:

• Plastics Processing

As a lubricant and processing aid in plastics, PP wax micro powder enhances melt flow, minimizes friction, and improves overall productivity. It is widely used in injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding, where it improves product gloss, dimensional stability, and resistance to environmental stress cracking.

• Coatings and Inks

In coatings and printing inks, PP wax micro powder serves as both a lubricant and dispersant. It improves scratch resistance, surface smoothness, and gloss, while in inks it contributes to abrasion resistance, anti-blocking performance, and film smoothness.

• Other Industrial Uses

• Hot Melt Adhesives: It enhances flowability, thermal stability, and adhesion control.
• Rubber Industry: It improves processability, lubrication, and surface finish.
• Textiles: It provides superior finishing effects, improving softness and handling.
• Paper Industry: Used as a release agent and surface treatment additive.
