Oxidized polyethylene wax, also known as ope wax, is characterized by low viscosity, high softening point, good hardness and other special properties, non-toxic, good thermal stability, low high-temperature volatility, excellent dispersion of fillers and pigments, excellent external lubrication, strong internal lubrication and coupling, which can improve the production efficiency of plastic processing, It can reduce the production cost, has good compatibility with polyolefin resin, has good moisture resistance at room temperature, strong chemical resistance and excellent electrical performance, and can improve the appearance of finished products. It is an ideal product to replace mengdan wax, Sichuan wax, liquid paraffin, microcrystalline paraffin, natural paraffin, polyethylene wax, etc.
Ope series wax is produced from polyethylene wax oxidized by special oxidation process.
（1） Chemical composition: low molecular weight oxidized polyethylene containing hydroxyl and carboxyl groups
（2） Properties: white and slightly yellow powder particles, with good chemical stability, soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons.
Scope of application
1. Dispersant, lubricant, brightener and coupling agent of pigment or filler such as dense masterbatch, polypropylene masterbatch, additive masterbatch and filling masterbatch.
2. As a lubricant, film remover and phase solvent for rubber and plastic processing, ope wax has good compatibility with various rubbers. Due to its high melting point and low viscosity, it promotes good resin fluidity, relatively reduces the power consumption of resin mixing, reduces the adhesion between resin and mold, is easy to remove film, plays the role of internal and external lubrication, and has good antistatic property. As an anti adhesion additive and abrasion resistant additive for waterborne coatings and inks.
3. As a viscosity regulator of hot-melt adhesive. As an auxiliary agent for aluminum foil composite paper processing.
4. Make shoe polish, floor wax, polishing wax, automobile wax, cosmetics, match wax rod, ink wear-resistant agent, ceramics, precision casting agent, oil absorbing agent, sealing mastic, traditional Chinese medicine wax pill, hot-melt adhesive, cable material additive, oil well wax absorbing agent, crayon, carbon paper, wax paper, printing mud, photosensitive material matrix, textile softener, electronic component sealant, transistor packaging agent Rubber processing aids, automobile primer, dental material processing aids, steel rust inhibitor, etc.
Chemical composition of ope wax: oxidized polyethylene wax has certain functional groups on its molecular chain, so its miscibility with polar resin has been significantly improved, which is better than polyethylene wax.
Purpose
It is widely used in water-based coatings and ink formulations to provide excellent wear resistance, adhesion resistance and scratch resistance.
In the plastic processing industry, the internal and external lubrication of PVC is relatively balanced; The lubricity of oxidized polyethylene wax added to the rigid, transparent and opaque PVC formula is better than that of other lubricants. It is widely used in the production of PE and PVC cables, PVC profiles and pipes. It is an excellent new plastic processing lubricant. It can also be used as raw and auxiliary materials for textile softener, car wax and leather softener.
