Why Do Masterbatches Add PE Wax?

Why do masterbatches add PE wax? In the production process of masterbatches, due to the poor dispersion of fine powder, it is easy to agglomerate, which greatly affects the difficulty of extrusion in the production process, resulting in relatively poor gloss and processing performance.

Polyethylene wax added to the masterbatch system can improve the compatibility between the system and the pigment, strengthen the infiltration and penetration of the agglomerate, and facilitate dispersion.

Polyethylene wax for masterbatches should have the following characteristics:

1. It has good thermal stability and can withstand the processing temperature well.

2. It can accelerate the fluidity of the pigment and make the pigment more evenly coated.

3. It has good compatibility with the carrier resin.

4. It can enhance the coloring strength of the pigment.

5. It has the characteristics of moderate matching of melting point and viscosity, high hardness, and low thermal weight loss ratio.

6. It has no adverse effect on the mechanical properties of the colored products.

TIANSHI PE wax for masterbatch is white flake or powder, odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and has excellent lubricity and compatibility when mixed with plastics, rubber, and ink. It is an excellent processing lubricant and dispersant. It can promote fluidity and dispersibility in masterbatch processing, enhance the coloring ability of the pigment in the masterbatch, and improve the surface gloss of the masterbatch product.
