PE modified polyethylene wax and paraffin

A small amount of low density polyethylene (LDPE) was added to the molten wax to form a homogeneous mixture of the polyethylene dissolved, and cooled to obtain a modified PE wax, paraffin wax which is very classic processing methods. Adding a small amount of polyethylene wax crystallization changed, so that the melting point paraffin has heat stabilizer for panel  been greatly improved, improved from 50 degrees to 80-90 degrees, LDPE also has very good toughness paraffin, wax coating containing the PE not easy to crack. Because of these advantages, several decades ago, PE is widely used in the modified paraffin wax coated paper, cardboard, waterproof packaging for food, when very expensive PE film can not be applied to these areas.
PE modified so that the physical properties of paraffin wax has greatly improved, but even the plastic coating applications, it is fundamentally different and polyethylene wax, not  stearic acid paraffin polyethylene + = polyethylene wax.
PE modified paraffin wax can change a small molecular weight (300-400) nature, at higher temperatures, large-volatile paraffin. Bake 180 degrees for 20 minutes, PE modified paraffin thermal weight loss of about 10 percent, a variety of polyethylene wax TGA basically about 0.5%. Modified PE wax used in powder coatings, baking smoke very serious.
PVC external lubricant wax can do, but there are many disadvantages: Since paraffin and small molecular weight PVC resin and incompatible, paraffin easily precipitate from PVC products, wax  Chlorinated paraffin tends to reduce the strength of PVC products. PE modified paraffin wax can not change these properties, but it improves the viscosity increase than pure wax such external lubrication has improved stability than pure wax.
For masterbatches, PE modified relatively pure paraffin wax, the viscosity increased, a shearing force increases, the relative genuine purpose polyethylene wax, PE wax or a modification of the pigment is difficult to effect uniform dispersion.
