Flake PE wax
Flake PE Wax Introduction
Polyethylene (PE) wax flakes are a versatile form of PE wax widely used in various industrial applications due to their excellent lubricating and stabilizing properties.
Polyethylene wax is a low molecular weight polymer derived from ethylene. In flake form, it is easy to handle and incorporate into formulations. PE wax flakes offer consistent performance and are favored in many applications.
There are different types of polyethylene wax flake form, including:
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): LDPE is flexible, lightweight, and used for items like plastic bags, squeezable bottles, and some types of packaging.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): HDPE is more rigid and is used in products like milk jugs, detergent bottles, and pipes.
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE): LLDPE is a flexible plastic used in products like plastic wraps and trash bags.
Properties and Benefits
Flake PE wax are known for:
– High melting point.
– Low viscosity.
– Chemical resistance.
– Excellent lubricity.
– Thermal stability.
These properties make them ideal for improving the performance and processing of various products.
Polyethylene Wax Flake Form Applications
Flake PE wax are commonly used in:
– Plastics: Enhances mold release and improves surface finish.
– Coatings: Provides scratch resistance and gloss control.
– Adhesives: Improves melt viscosity and bonding strength.
– Inks: Enhances slip and rub resistance.
– Cosmetics: It can be found in cosmetic and personal care products, such as lipsticks and lotions, to provide a smooth texture and glossy finish.
– Candles: It can be used in candle making to improve burn time and reduce dripping.

PE Wax Flake form Handling, Storage, Safety and Packing
PE WAX FLAKE PACKING
Store PE wax flakes form in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the product to avoid inhalation or contact with skin and eyes. In RAHA group company, we are able to arrange different packing such as 20 KG bag, 25 KG Bag and 1250 KG Jumbo Bags. Palletizing and shrinkage will apply to avoid any damage or wet.
Polyethylene wax flakes form are generally considered safe but should be handled with care. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on health hazards and first aid measures. PE wax flakes are a reliable and efficient additive in various industrial applications, offering numerous benefits in terms of performance and processing.
