Overview
EPOLENE® E-10 is an oxidized polyethylene polymer with low density and a low softening point. It produces stable emulsions with low color using both atmospheric and pressure methods. EPOLENE® E-10 is used in wax emulsions for water-based floor polishes because of the outstanding slip resistance and durability it provides to the polish film. It is also used as a finishing agent for natural and synthetic fabrics and may be used as a textile softener when formulated with finishing waxes. When used in hot-melt adhesive formulations, it increases adhesion to metal and plastic substrates.
