Westlake Epolene® C-17P Coating Grade - Branched Medium Molecular Weight Polyethylene Polymer

Description: Epolene C-17P is a branched low density polyethylene powder with a relatively high melt point and viscosity compared to other Epolene C-type Polymers. It is useful to modify paraffin wax to improve the blend viscosity, grease resistance, blocking temperature, scuff resistance, and gloss. Epolene C-17P commonly replaces granular LLDPE as the base polymer in color concentrates because it's easier to process and has higher output rates. Epolene C-17P has good high temperature stability, low color, low temperature flexibility, and excellent compatibility with various tackifying resins.
