Polyethylene wax (PE Wax) acts as an internal and external lubricant in PVC formulations, enhancing extrusion and injection molding processes. It reduces melt viscosity and improves thermal stability. PE Wax plays a crucial role in the production of pipes, profiles, and flexible films, enhancing surface quality and mechanical strength.
