East Asia Remains in the Vanguard
As a result of steady demand for polyethylene wax from the growing industrialization and rapidly expanding end-use industries, East Asia is expected to hold a noticeable market share of the global polyethylene wax market, in terms of both value and volume. Moreover, the Asia Pacific market’s dominance is projected to remain constant over the forecast period, followed by Europe and South Asia, where the polyethylene wax market is expected to grow at a noteworthy rate.
Key manufacturers involved in the production of polyethylene wax are strongly focusing on expansion activities in order to generate more revenue, for instance Trecora Resources signed an agreement with SSI Chusei Inc. – a US base PE wax manufacturer, to acquire 100% stakes of the company, which is anticipated to raise the production capacity of polyethylene wax.
Demand Bolstered by Multifarious Applications in Adhesives and Coatings
PMR found that polyethylene wax is suitably employed in the adhesives and coatings industry for a variety of applications. Polyethylene wax is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer that is used for improving and enhancing the process parameters and properties of finished products in in the plastic industry. It is being used in several applications as a slip agent, resin modifier, mold release agent, processing aid for hot-melt adhesive composition, for improving physical appearance and thermal properties. It is also added to coatings and inks to resist adhesion, scratches, and increase smoothness.
Cost Effectiveness & High Productivity – Dual Drivers for PE Wax Demand
Cost effectiveness of polyethylene wax is a key factor boosting its demand over the years. The other options available in the market, such as Fischer-Tropsch wax and others, have much lower viscosity and higher prices as compared to polyethylene wax. Prominent companies have developed processes to produce polyethylene wax using paraffin bases as a replacement to petroleum ones, and the use of such alternative raw materials for oxidized polyethylene wax, has benefited manufacturers by overruling the price imbalance caused due to ethylene costs.
