The Role Of Adding PE Wax To Cable Sheathing Materials

The role of adding PE wax to cable sheathing materials is that polyethylene wax has chemical properties similar to polyethylene and excellent electrical properties, as well as the characteristics of wax, with high melting point, high hardness, low melting point viscosity, and Features of good flow performance. The product is in the form of white flakes or powder, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. It has excellent lubricity and compatibility when blended with plastics, rubber, wax, and inks. It is an excellent processing aid.

Main uses of PE wax:
1. Colored particles (dispersed, lubricated, bright).
2. PVC profiles/pipes/sheets (highly efficient external lubricant).
3. Compound stabilizer (improving dispersion performance and preventing dust).
4. Hot melt adhesive (improved heat resistance, viscosity adjustment).
5. Hot-melt road marking paint/road marking paint (improved heat resistance, viscosity adjustment).
6. Rubber (improved processability, carbon dispersant).
7. Cable material (increased filling, efficient extrusion).
8. Ink (anti-settling, glossy, wear-resistant).
9. Filling material (improved heat resistance, gelling agent, transparency).

With the development of the wire and cable industry, PE wax, as a plasticizer for PVC cable materials, has the advantages of good electrical properties, flame retardancy and low price, so it is widely used in PVC cable materials. Extensive attention.
