Alpha Wax can offer a wide range of Specialty Polyethylene Waxes from our partner Trecora Chemical. Trecora Chemical Polyethylene Wax products are hard products, with a high melting point and low to medium viscosity, derived from HDPE resin manufacture.
These products can be used in a variety of applications, including: as a performance additive for hot melt adhesives; as a penetration and melting point modifier for paraffin and microcrystalline waxes; as a lubrication and processing aid for plastics, PVC and rubber; and as a dry stir-in additive for inks. In oxidized forms, applications for CWP polyethylene wax include use in textile emulsions, as the wax portion of polish formulations, and as a lubricant in PVC extrusion.
Fenix Process oils are highly refined process oils based on Group II technology. They are free of aromatic and polar compounds and virtually colorless, Sulphur free and do show an extraordinary UV stability. Due to these properties, these oils are ideal for use in applications where color stability, low volatility and low sulfur levels are required and are therefore recommended for rubber, elastomer, plastic, adhesive and several other manufacturing processes.
