OPE is a white powder, that is lumpy or has flakes with flowability. It is a partly oxidized product of polyethylene wax. Since some carboxyl and hydroxyl groups are in molecular chains, its compatibility with polar resins is greatly improved, resulting in excellent internal and external lubrication performance.

Applications:
OPE is widely used in processing of packing materials and thermo shrink film as an external lubricant. It is also used as processing auxiliaries for PVC shapes, in pipes and plates to increase the surface smoothness of the processed products with an amount of 0.3-0.5%. It can increase the demoulding property effectively and reduce mould-cleaning time significantly in processing plastic products. The product can be also used as a new-type of lubricating agent with excellent performance for plastics like PVC and polyolefins, etc. It increases lubrication between plastics and metals, improves dispersion of coloring agents and provides products with nice transparency and brightness. It can be used as softening and anti-puncturing agents for textiles. It is also widely used in car wax and leather auxiliaries.
