What is PE Wax ?

Polyethylene Wax or PE Wax, is an ultra low molecular weight polyethylene consisting of ethylene monomer chains. PE Wax is available from on-purpose production and as a byproduct of polyethylene production. Material is available in both HDPE and LDPE forms. Also many grades and types available from Polyethylene Wax Suppliers. Polyethylene Wax is an important constituent, in the formulation of coatings, inks,adhesives, etc

 Polyethylene Wax Applications

PVC Compounds

PVC compounds are formulated for rigid and flexible applications and are adapted to a number of processing methods covering extrusion, injection and blow molding, as well as calendaring. These techniques encompass the use of PVC in the fabrication of pipes, profiles, bottle, sheet and coating for wires and cables.The benefit using Polyethylene Wax on PVC compound: Highly efficient lubricants by all conversion means,Excellent filler and modifier dispersants, Superb release agents, Significantly improve surface finish and Ease and speed processing rates.

Rubber Processing

PE Wax use on rubber processing in  subsequent extrusion and molding procedures. The benefit will be get if using PE Wax is :-

• Compatability with elastomers.
• Good lubricant / release action from equipment.
• Excellent flow properties (lower Mooney viscosity).
• Easily dispersible.
• Chemically inert with good electrical properties.
• No detrimental influence upon curing rate.
• Minimal effect upon mechanical properties.
• Improved filler dispersion.
  
  
  
  

Ashpalt / Bitumen Modification

Bitumen is blended with thermoplastic elastomers of varying types (amorphous polyolefins and SBS).  The inclusion of these polymers results in a dramatic increase in viscosity and a consequent disruption of flow characteristics.  The incorporation of an additive amount of a Marcus homopolymer wax brings about a significant improvement of flow during hot torching procedures, stimulating the formation of a smooth and high gloss coating with added water repellency properties.

Cable Filling / Flooding Compounds

Electrical and telecommunication cables are manufactured with a filling/flooding compound packed inside them for providing water and gas tightness.  These compounds must have a good stability to the high shear forces which occur during manufacture and which could cause breakdown of the compound consistency.  This consistency must also be maintained over a wide temperature range and there should be no migration.

Release, Lubricant & Sizing

In the glass industry their lubricant function plays an important role as a component of a treatment for the reduction of breakage when newly formed thin walled and highly fragile bottles come off the production line, there being a slippage action rather than an impacting one when the bottles contact each other. The same lubricating efficiency also applies in the treatment of glass fiber as it is produced. The application of the polyethylene emulsion in this instance allows the fiber to be immediately wound up without breaking.

Textiles

Polyethylene wax emulsions are stable softeners. Polyethylene is present in the emulsion
in the form of dispersion of fine particles in water.Polyethylene wax emulsion is available as milky white emulsion, which can be readily diluted with hot, cold or even hard water, which does not affect it since it is non ionic in character. It is compatible with anionic, cationic and non ionic auxiliaries.

What is Bitumen

What Is Bitumen ?

Bitumen is a black or dark-colored (solid, semi-solid, viscous), amorphous, cementitious material that can be found in different forms, such us rock asphalt, natural bitumen, tar and bitumen derived from oil, which is referred to as petroleum bitumen.. A mixture of hydrocarbons occurring as a residue from petroleum distillation. Soluble in carbon disulfide. Combustible.

Bitumen is a mixture of Hydro carbons and thermoplastic material having strong tarry odour. It stiffness is dependent on temperature. The temperature-vs-stiffness relationship of bitumen is dependent on the source of crude oil and the method of refining. It also known as Asphalt and Mineral Pitch. 

What’s the difference between Bitumen and Asphalt? Should I use Bitumen or Asphalt?

Bitumen is actually the liquid binder that holds asphalt together. The term bitumen is often mistakenly used to describe asphalt.

A bitumen-sealed road has a layer of bitumen sprayed and then covered with an aggregate. This is then repeated to give a two-coat seal.

Asphalt is produced in a plant that heats, dries and mixes aggregate, bitumen and sand into a composite mix. It is then applied through a paving machine on site as a solid material at a nominated or required thickness, relative to the end use. Asphalt results in a smoother and more durable surface than a bitumen-sealed road.

Bitumen is applied in construction and maintenance of:

• Highways
• Airport runways
• Footways / Pedestrian Ways
• Car parks
• Racetracks
• Tennis courts
• Roofing
• Damp proofing
• Dams
• Reservoir and pool linings
• Soundproofing
• Pipe coatings
• Cable Coatings
• Paints
• Building Water Proofing
• Tile underlying waterproofing
• Newspaper Ink Production
• And many other applications

Manufacturing Process:

The crude oil is pumped from storage tanks, where it is kept at about 60°C, through a heat exchanger system where its temperature is increased to typically 200°C by exchanging heat gained from the cooling of newly produced products in the refining process. The crude is then further heated in a furnace to typically 300° C where it is partly vaporized into an Atmospheric Distillation Column. Here the physical separation of the components occurs. The lighter components rise to the top and the heaviest components (the atmospheric residue) fall to the bottom of the column and pass through a second heat exchanger prior to treatment in a vacuum distillation column. Finally, Bitumen is obtained by vacuum distillation or vacuum flashing of atmospheric residue from the vacuum distillation column. This is "straight run bitumen”. This process is called bitumen production by straight run vacuum distillation.

Rubber Process Oils are used during the processing and production of rubber compounds. These help in improving the dispersion of fillers and flow characteristics of the compound during further processing.

Rubber Process Oils have 3 ( Three)  types.

Aromatic Type
The basic characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons is that it has double bonded mix ring carbon structure. Aromatic types of extracts are sourced from selected refineries and blended to meet the strict


Paraffinic type
Paraffinic type comes into the class of hydrocarbons which constitutes of branched chain or straight linked hydrocarbons molecules of many viscosities. The viscosity increases because of the chain length and rubber process oils becomes more viscous. That is the why it is used extensively in EPDM, Butyl Rubbers. Paraffinic Oils due to higher viscosity and flashpoint is better to make the end products which require better shelf life. Paraffinic Oils are also used in EPDM profiles for automotive applications due to its higher viscosity and flashpoint.


Naphthenic Type
Naphthenic type is a class of hydrocarbons and also is known as cycloparaffins. The structure is nearly same to the aromatic type and has the single bonded and stable structure.
