External Lubrication Effect of Polyethylene Wax in PVC Processing
2025-08-25

As an efficient external lubricant, polyethylene wax (PE wax) plays a critical role in PVC processing through the following mechanisms:

1. Core Lubrication Mechanism

  • Interfacial Separation Effect

    • Forms a stable lubricating layer between the melt and metal equipment

    • Effectively reduces the friction coefficient (by 40%-60%)

    • Prevents melt adhesion to the screw and mold surfaces

  • Dynamic Lubrication Characteristics

    • Gradually releases lubricating effects as processing temperature increases

    • Maintains consistent and stable lubrication throughout the process

2. Practical Application Benefits

  • Improved Production Efficiency

    • Allows for increased extrusion speed (15%-25%)

    • Reduces downtime for cleaning (extends continuous production time by over 50%)

  • Enhanced Product Quality

    • Eliminates surface defects such as fish eyes and flow marks

    • Improves surface gloss and smoothness of products

  • Equipment Protection

    • Reduces wear on screws and barrels

    • Extends mold service life by 30%-50%

3. Usage Guidelines

  • Recommended dosage: 0.1-0.5 phr (excessive amounts may cause over-lubrication)

  • Best results achieved when combined with internal lubricants

  • Optimal molecular weight range: 2,000-5,000

With its unique external lubrication properties, polyethylene wax significantly enhances PVC processing efficiency and product quality, making it an indispensable additive in modern PVC production.
