Overview
EPOLENE® N-34P is a powdered polyethylene commonly used as dispersing aid for pigments in color masterbatch. It has a low coefficient of friction and good wetting properties that make it a useful processing aid for plastic applications. EPOLENE® N-34P can also be used in paper coatings and printing inks as a lubricant to increase scuff resistance and improve gloss. It can also be added to hot melt adhesive as a viscosity modifier to reduce sag and creep.
