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.
Blends easily with natural or synthetic waxes Improved physical properties of paper coating Increased scuff and rub resistance in inks Improved pigment dispersion High extrusion lubricity Low density PE
Problems Solved
Coefficient of friction is too high in coatings and inks which allows for abrasive damage and scuffing. Ink is not glossy enough. Sagging during application of a hot melt adhesive.
Applications
Wax modification; Paper coatings; Printing inks; Waxes and polishes; Color masterbatch; Plastics; Hot melt adhesives
