Epolene® N-30 is a low molecular weight polyethylene wax used in inks and coatings to improve scuff resistance and also as a dispersing aid in masterbatch.
Epolene® N-30 is a polyethylene polymer that is used in printing ink, paper coatings, and plastics applications due to it's low coefficient of friction and good wetting properties. In printing inks and paper coatings Epolene® N-30 works to improve scuff resistance and improve gloss. In plastic applications Epolene® N-30 is used as an additive to improve mold release properties and to improve pigment dispersion. Epolene® N-30 is also used as a viscosity modifier in hot melt adhesive applications to reduce sag.
