Increased demand for polyethylene wax to process polyvinyl chloride:
a major market driver

Increased demand for polyethylene
wax to process polyvinyl chloride is one of the major factors
driving the global polyethylene wax market. Polyethylene wax is
extensively used as a lubricant in the polyvinyl chloride processing
industry. It prevents PVC from sticking to the hot surfaces of certain
machinery and equipment while processing. It also assists in enhancing
the material properties of PVC pipes, containers, and other substances.
PVC occurs both in rigid and flexible form. The rigid form of plastic is
majorly used in the building and construction industry for manufacturing
pipers. The flexible form of plastic is widely used in the production of
products such as business cards, bottles, plastic containers, and many
more.

Polyethylene wax aids in lubricating the movement of the PVC melt,
improves the anti-sticking property, and provides better demolding
effects. Owing to this, it is widely used in injection molding, blow
molding, and extrusion processes. Therefore, due to the advanced
benefits and improved properties of polyethylene wax in plastic
industry, it is expected to witness high growth rate during the forecast
period.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on specialty
chemicals, “The growth rate of the orthopedic plates and
screws market in the Americas is slowing down a bit because of the
region being a mature market. However, the increasing urge to reduce
post-surgical complications has resulted in technological advancements
in orthopedic plates and screws devices such as the use of titanium
material to develop orthopedic plates and screws. Such innovations will
bring back the growth momentum of the market in the region.”
