What is polyethelene wax?

Polyethylene wax is a synthetic wax made from the polymerization of ethylene. It has wide application potential in various industries, including cosmetics, candles, paints, coatings, and packaging. Polyethylene wax has a low melting point and high crystallinity, which makes it an excellent lubricant and a good processing aid for various formulations. It can improve slip resistance, abrasion resistance, and water resistance properties of a product. Polyethylene wax is non-toxic and non-volatile, making it safe for use in food packaging and personal care products. However, it has limited use as a standalone material due to its low compatibility with other materials. In combination with other wax materials, it can enhance the properties of the final product.
