MARKET OVERVIEW
Polyethylene wax (PE wax) is a type of synthetic wax derived from ethylene, a byproduct of crude oil. It is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer that has a highly branched, irregular structure. PE wax is widely used in various applications such as coatings, printing inks, adhesives, cosmetics, plastics, and rubber processing. PE wax is commonly used as a processing aid, slip agent, and release agent in the manufacturing of plastic and rubber products. Its properties make it an ideal processing aid in the production of plastic and rubber products. It helps to improve the surface properties of these products and increases their resistance to wear and tear. The major end-users of PE wax include the plastics and rubber industries, coatings and inks, adhesives and sealants, and cosmetics. The future of the PE wax market looks promising, driven by the increasing demand for plastic and rubber products, the growing manufacturing sector in emerging economies, and the advancements in technology.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The polyethylene wax market is anticipated to grow in the forecast period owing to improvements in the quality of polyethylene wax coupled with the growing end-use applications of polyethylene wax.
