EPOLENE® N-10 is a medium-density polyethylene wax used in coatings and inks to improve scuff resistance and gloss. It is also used as a processing aid and pigment dispersant for color concentrates.
EPOLENE® N-10 is a low–molecular weight polyethylene homopolymer used in a variety of applications, including paper coatings, printing inks, and polyolefin color concentrates. This grade can be easily melt blended with other synthetic and natural waxes to increase tensile strength, improve abrasion resistance, and promote adhesion to fibrous substrates. The EPOLENE® N-10 polymer has a low coefficient of friction and provides good wetting properties that enable it to be used as a processing aid and pigment dispersant in color concentrates based on polyolefin polymers. When incorporated into paper coatings and printing inks, EPOLENE® N-10 will increase resistance to scuffing and abrasion.
