Polyethylene and related derivatives

As of 1995, about 200 million kilograms of polyethylene waxes were consumed annually.

Polyethylene waxes are manufactured by one of three methods:

# The direct polymerization of ethylene, potentially including co-monomers;
# The thermal degradation of high molecular weight polyethylene resin;
# The recovery of low molecular weight fractions from high molecular weight resin production.

Each production technique generates products with slightly
