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