Polyethylene wax is a widely used synthetic wax product, and its rational application requires consideration of its ecological impact.
Polyethylene wax is a synthetic wax product produced by the polymerization of ethylene, and its main characteristics are:
1. Raw Material Source: Polyethylene wax is mainly produced from ethylene, a petrochemical product, through a polymerization reaction.
2. Physical Form: It is a granular or fine scaly solid, white or slightly milky white.
3. Composition: The main component is long-chain alkanes, and it is an atactic copolymer.
4. Properties: Density is less than 1 g/cm3. Melting point is around 100-120°C, and it has good thermal stability.
5. Applications: Mainly used in wax coatings, adhesives, emulsifiers, detergents, leather processing, etc.
6. Advantages: Low cost, stable performance, non-toxic and odorless.
7. Disadvantages: Poor biodegradability, single source.
In summary, polyethylene wax is a widely used synthetic wax product, and its rational application requires consideration of its ecological environmental impact.
