Oxidized Polyethylene Waxes in PVC Compounds
Oxidized polyethylene waxes are produced by treating non-oxidised waxes with oxygen under controlled conditions. As a result, oxygen-containing polar groups are introduced into the molecular structure, which increases the compatibility of the wax with PVC and significantly changes its performance in the formulation.

Depending on the degree of oxidation, these waxes can act as combined lubricants, but they are more commonly used as internal lubricants. They distribute more effectively within the polymer matrix, reduce internal friction between PVC chains, facilitate plasticisation, and help stabilise the processing of rigid compounds.
Oxidized polyethylene waxes are often used in combination with non-oxidised waxes. This combination helps balance internal and external lubrication, control the rate of plasticisation, reduce the risk of plate-out and burning, and ensure stable quality of the finished product.
Main functions of oxidized polyethylene waxes:
- act as internal lubricants;
- offer good compatibility with PVC due to their polar groups;
- promote the dispersion of fillers, pigments and stabilizers;
- accelerate fusion, ensuring a uniform melt;
- reduce friction between PVC particles during the early stages of processing.
