The polyethylene wax is fully saturated homopolymers of ethylene, which has high degree of crystalline and linearity. PE wax has a high crystalline value and thus it has attributes like low solubility in solvents, higher hardness at elevated temperatures and oil thickening capability. Compared with PE Wax, the molecule structure of OPE Wax have some hydroxyl groups on them. So the intermiscibility with the polar resin will been improved a lot. It is better than PE wax when it is with the polar material.
