P1WAXTM LV2

Homopolymer Polyethylene Wax

Technical Datasheet
Product Description
P1Wax Grade LV2 is a low viscosity, low molecular weight homopolymer polyethylene wax in powder form, produced in
Thailand under the standard control to ensure consistent product quality.

It is used in a broad range of applications, including pigment and filler dispersants, slip agents and mold release agents for
molding resins, modifiers for ink and paints, shortening of setting time, improve heat resistance and reduction of blend
viscosity in hot melt adhesive and thermoplastic road marking.
