Polyethylene Powder
Low molecular weight polyethylene powder for pigment dispersion, mold release.
SKU: PEPDR105
Polyethylene Powder
Low molecular weight polyethylene powder designed for applications such as aiding pigment dispersion, mold release, and improving scuff resistance in inks. This low-density polyethylene powder increases tensile strength in wax blends and acts as a wax hardener for low melting point waxes. It easily melts and blends with both natural and synthetic waxes, making it ideal for wax modification.
