Chemical Properties of Licowax PE 520 powder
Chemical and physical properties are markedly affected by increasing density, which is affected by the shape and spacing of the molecular chain.
Low-density materials have highly branched and widely spaced chains, whereas high-density materials have comparatively straight and closely aligned chains.
Licowax PE 520 powder is soluble in organic solvents at temperatures higher than 200°F.
Licowax PE 520 powder is insoluble at room temperature.
Licowax PE 520 powder is hydrophobic, permeable to gas, and has high electrical resistivity.
Licowax PE 520 powder have excellent electrical resistance and resistance to water and to most chemicals. Medium molecular weight polymers are waxes miscible with paraffin wax, and polyethylene polymers whose molecular weights are higher than 10,000 are the familiar tough and strong resins that are flexible or stiff.

Uses of Licowax PE 520 powder:
Licowax PE 520 powder is used in the development of plastics.
Hot melt coating for paper, additive in cast moldings, candles, oil-based inks and hot melt adhesives.
