EPOLENE C-15P Wax
Highly branched, medium molecular weight polyethylene wax
9002-88-4
EPOLENE C-15 Wax is a relatively low viscosity, low-density polyethylene wax designed for use in hot-melt coatings for paper and packaging materials.
The EPOLENE C-series waxes are branched polyethylene polymers having a higher viscosity and molecular weight than the more linear EPOLENE N-series.
EPOLENE polymers have good high-temperature stability, low color, low-temperature flexibility, and excellent compatibility with various tackifying resins.
Coatings produced with EPOLENE C-15 wax, or blends containing C-15 wax, exhibit high gloss, low moisture vapor transmission rates, good grease resistance, and good heat-sealability.
EPOLENE polymers are supplied as free-flowing pellets (and powder, EPOLENE C-15P Wax) and packaged in multi-walled paper bags with a polyethylene coated inner liner (50 LB net weight). The bags are palletized and stretch-wrapped to prevent contamination during storage and shipment.
EPOLENE polymers may also be shipped in a variety of bulk containers.
