Polyethylene wax is white, translucent solid with a waxy feel at room temperature and it is an integral part of manufacturing used in a wide array of industries. It comes in several different forms with slightly different properties (viscosity, density and melting point) which make each type of wax more suitable for a particular application. Polyethylene waxes are used in the manufacture of PVC and plastics, packaging, paints and primers, thermoplastics industry, polishes and lubricants to name a few. Polyethylene wax is available in pallet, powder, or flake forms in sizes ranging from 500g containers to 50kg batches. Integrated Chemical Specialties, a division of Integrated Traffic Systems USA provides several different varieties of polyethylene wax for use in a wide array of industries.
OnWax® PE 600200P is a white, translucent solid polyethylene wax in pastille form at room temperature. Its unique combination of properties such as low density, high melting point and low melt viscosity make it suitable for application in a wide array of industries such as the manufacture of paints and coatings, primers,thermoplastics, PVC and plastics, packaging, polishes, lubricants and more.

OnWax® PE EC617 is a low-density polyethylene wax (LDPE) that has a high viscosity and flexibility and is translucent to opaque. It is a synthetic polymer that softens to a liquid when heated and hardens when cooled. When compared to HDPE,LDPE is less rigid and generally less chemically resistant. LDPE Wax has characteristics best suited for use in the following applications.
