Westlake Epolene® E-20 Emulsifiable - Oxidized Low Molecular Weight Polyethylene Polymer
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE)

Material Notes: Product Description: Epolene E-20 is a medium density, low molecular-weight oxidized polyethylene with exceptional hardness and low color. It has a low softening point and low viscosity, which give it the same desirable emulsification properties of a low-density oxidized polyethylene. The low softening point and low viscosity contribute to the hardness, short drying time, and excellent gloss in coatings. Pressure equipment is required for mulsification of this material. Epolene E-20 is an excellent performer in high-speed, buffable floor finishes. It improves buffability and durability.
    Key Attributes:
  • Imparts slip resistance, durability, and toughness to floor finishes
  • Low density polyethylene (PE)
  • Oxidized to provide functionality
  • Produces stable water based emulsions
  • Useful as a lubricant for HDPE extrusion
    Application/Uses:
  • Automotive
  • Building and Construction
  • Hot Melt Adhesives
  • Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
  • Solventborne Adhesives
  • Waterborne Adhesives
  • Wax Modification
