Overview
EPOLENE® N-30 is a polyethylene wax homopolymer that functions as a modifier for natural and synthetic waxes used in printing ink, paper coatings, and plastics applications. EPOLENE® N-30 is a preferred material due to the low coefficient of friction and good wetting properties of its polymer. In printing inks and paper coatings, EPOLENE® N-30 improves scuff resistance and gloss. In plastic applications, it is used as a wax additive to improve mold release properties and pigment dispersion. EPOLENE® N-30 is also used as a viscosity modifier in hot-melt adhesive applications to reduce sag.
