Polyethylene waxes

Polyethylene waxes from RLESA, obtained in the process of manufacturing HDPE, with an essentially linear structure, a high melting point and low viscosity, suitable for many industrial applications.

It is included in the positive list of monomers authorised by Directive 2002/72/EC (ref. no. 1690) and complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 172.886. It may therefore be used in products intended for direct contact with food, as raw material for hot melt, glues, etc.

Applications

• Hot melt (increasing the solidification point of adhesives without increasing the viscosity of the mixture, improving the behaviour of hot melts at high temperatures)
• Dispersing loads and pigments (masterbatch)
• Coating paper (improving gloss and flexibility, achieving high-quality finishes)
• Process aids to make mixtures of rubber and PVC, among others, more processable
• Manufacturing inks and toners
  
• Additives in paraffin mixtures
  
• Products for filling cables
• Additives for asphalts
• Emulsions
  
• Textile
• Polishes
• Candles (providing increased hardness and thermal resistance)
