Abstract :Polymer processing is become easy while using lubricant in a proper way. Hence viscosity reduction and gelation behavior/release effect of lubricants help the production speed and quality. In this manner by the growing need for lubricant characterization two technical-grade polyethylene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PE); waxes were investigated. PE is one of the most used lubricant and study by characterizing them using Fourier Transform Infrared insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FT-IR); spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);, X-ray Diffraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD);, Differential Scanning Calorimetry insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DSC); and Thermogravimetric analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TGA); to elucidate their structural, molecular and thermal characteristics in order to assess their effectiveness and suitability as lubricants in carpet manufacturing.Keywords : Lubricant, polymer processing, polyethylene wax
