PE Wax

RV Prime Plast PE Wax is a high-performance polyethylene wax designed for various industrial applications. The specifications typically include:

• Chemical Composition: Primarily composed of low molecular weight polyethylene.
• Appearance: Usually a white to off-white powder or granular form.
• Melting Point: Generally ranges from 100°C to 120°C, depending on the specific formulation.
• Density: Approximately 0.9 g/cm³.
• Viscosity: Low viscosity when melted, allowing for easy incorporation into formulations.
• Solubility: Insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like mineral oils and aromatic hydrocarbons.

These specifications can vary slightly based on the specific formulation and intended application.

RV Prime Plast PE Wax has a wide range of applications across various industries due to its unique properties:

• Plastics Industry: Used as a processing aid in the production of plastics, enhancing flow and reducing friction during manufacturing processes such as extrusion and injection molding.
• Coatings and Inks: Acts as a slip agent and anti-blocking agent in coatings and inks, improving surface finish and preventing adhesion between layers.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Utilized in formulations for creams, lotions, and lipsticks to provide texture and stability.
• Adhesives: Enhances the performance of hot melt adhesives by improving thermal stability and reducing viscosity.
• Rubber Industry: Serves as a lubricant in rubber processing, improving the dispersion of fillers and enhancing the overall quality of rubber products.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are crucial documents that provide information about the hazards associated with chemicals. For RV Prime Plast PE Wax, key points typically included in the SDS are:

• Hazard Identification:

Not classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations.

May cause mild irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.

• Composition/Information on Ingredients: Contains polyethylene wax; no other hazardous substances listed.
• First-Aid Measures:

In case of skin contact: Wash with soap and water. 

In case of eye contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.

• Fire-Fighting Measures:

Suitable extinguishing media include foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide. 

Avoid using water jets as they may spread the fire.

• Accidental Release Measures: Contain spills using inert materials like sand or earth; avoid release into waterways.
• Handling and Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials.

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling. The SDS should be reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with local regulations and safety practices.

• Conclusion

In summary, RV Prime Plast PE Wax is characterized by its versatile applications across multiple industries including plastics, coatings, cosmetics, adhesives, and rubber manufacturing.
