Polymerized PE Wax Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) Non-oxidized
Polymerized PE Wax
Polymerized PE wax is a high-purity wax produced by the direct polymerization of ethylene. Narrow molecular weight distribution and repeatable performance for demanding applications.

Polymerized PE wax is produced not by breaking down existing polyethylene but by the direct, controlled polymerization of ethylene. This production route has a single but decisive advantage: repeatability.
Why a narrow molecular distribution matters
In waxes produced by cracking, molecular weight spreads over a wide range; this means drop point and viscosity fluctuate from batch to batch. In color-sensitive ink and paint applications, or on lines with tight process windows, this fluctuation is unacceptable. Polymerized types eliminate the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Product
Why is polymerized wax more expensive than cracked wax?
The production route is different: cracking breaks down existing polyethylene, while polymerized types are made directly from ethylene. This gives a narrow molecular weight distribution and high purity, in other words batch-to-batch repeatability. On lines with tight process windows, this difference is worth more than the cost.
When is a polymerized type needed?
In color-sensitive ink and paint applications, in masterbatch formulations that need tight tolerances and on lines where drop point fluctuation is unacceptable.
What packaging is polymerized PE wax available in?
Polymerized PE wax is supplied in 25 kg PE-lined kraft paper bags (1,375 kg per pallet) or in 500–1,000 kg jumbo bags (FIBC). A 20' container takes approximately 20 tonnes.
Can I get a technical data sheet for polymerized PE wax?
Yes. The values on this page are typical production ranges common in the industry; exact values for a batch are given in the technical data sheet (TDS) and certificate of analysis (CoA). You can request them through the quote form by choosing the "Catalog / TDS / SDS" option.
