Polyethylene wax is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer that is used for improving and enhancing the process parameters and properties of the finished products in diverse applications in the plastic industry. It has low molecular weight and features wax-like characteristics.
Polyethylene wax acts as an activator and dispersing material for polyethylene, ABS resins, polypropylene, etc.
A hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are examples of group 14 hydrides. Hydrocarbons from which one hydrogen atom has been removed are functional groups called hydrocarbyls. Because carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell (and because each covalent bond requires a donation of 1 electron, per atom, to the bond) carbon has exactly four bonds to make, and is only stable if all 4 of these bonds are used.
Process oils are complex mixtures of aromatic, naphthenic and paraffinic hydrocarbons. They provide a wide specification range of speciality oils used as strategic raw materials in a variety of industry sectors and manufacturing areas. It is widely used in explosives.
Paraffin wax is a soft colourless solid, derived from petroleum, coal or shale oil, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F); its boiling point is >370 °C (698 °F). Common applications for paraffin wax include lubrication, electrical insulation, and candles;dyed paraffin wax can be made into crayons. It is distinct from kerosene and other petroleum products that are sometimes called paraffin.
Un-dyed, unscented paraffin candles are odorless and bluish-white. Paraffin wax was first created in 1830 in Germany and marked a major advancement in candle making technology, as it burned more cleanly and reliably than tallow candles and was cheaper to produce.
Ultralube is our one pack lubricant for the extrusion of PVC. It contains internal as well as external lubricant. It is available in powder form for better dispersion and results. It is widely used in PVC pipes, profile sheets and PVC compounds.
Columbia petrochemicals is leading manufacturer of P.E waxes which enhances the quality and performance of plastic additives and one pack stabilizers. At present we are supplying our quality products to leading plastic additives and one pack stabilizer manufacturers in India and abroad. Our wax enhances the performance of plastic additives due to its high melting point, excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance. The compatibility of our wax with polyolefin polymers improves the flow characteristic and prolongs the gelation time thereby increasing the performance of plastic additives.
Our P.E wax works as an external lubricant which improves the output of the machine during extrusion. Itimparts gloss on the pipe surface and protects the outer surface from U.V radiation. Our wax has high melting point with good heat stability which prolongs the gelation time. The efficiency and performance of our product is so high that only small doses of 0.2% to 1 % gives excellent results.
We are the supplier of P.E waxes to the leading road marking paint manufacturers in India and abroad. Our wax is preferred among the leading suppliers due to its characteristics of good heat resistance, weather ability, abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance. When mixed as a material of a thermoplastic road marking paint, it greatly improves the stain resistance, flow ability and mixing dispersibility.
Columbia petrochemicals have partnered with manufacturers of a wide variety of adhesives with emphasis on hot melt adhesives. One of the key components in hot melt adhesives products are waxes. Our waxes not only optimize the viscosity, flow and “set time” properties for hot melt products but also influences the bond strength, crystallization rates and thermal stability of the bond.
