Westlake offers an extensive line of medium to low molecular weight polyethylene and polypropylene polymers under the EPOLENE® trade name. These specialty polymers, also known as polyethylene wax or PE wax, are useful in the plastics industry as lubricants for PVC, processing aids, mold release agents, dispersion aids, and coupling agents. They are also widely used in hot melt adhesives, emulsions, polymer-modified asphalt for paving and roofing, and pavement-striping compounds, as well as petroleum wax modifiers for use in candles, investment casting, cable filling, and various paperboard coatings.
EPOLENE® products are globally available and typically provided in pellet form. Select grades are also offered in powder form. Please contact us to learn more.
