Benefits of Micronized Waxes in Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) require precise processing aids to optimize their performance and surface quality. Micronized waxes have emerged as essential additives in TPE applications, serving as internal lubricants, dispersing aids, and surface modifiers.

By reducing melt viscosity, micronized waxes facilitate better flow and mold release. They also improve pigment and filler dispersion, resulting in more uniform coloration and smoother surface finishes. For end-use products like automotive seals, grips, and cables, waxes significantly enhance scratch resistance and surface feel.

Due to their small particle size and controlled melting range, micronized waxes integrate easily into TPE compounds without compromising elasticity or mechanical strength.

Core Functions:

• Improve processability and extrusion throughput

• Enhance scratch resistance and anti-blocking properties

• Aid dispersion of pigments and functional fillers

• Provide anti-stick and improved surface aesthetics
