The properties of polylefin waxes derived from polypropylene, polybutene, and their copolymers are described, with particular references to those which are useful as coatings and barrier materials. These products can be applied with conventional melt‐ and curtain‐coating machines on paper and other substrates to give coatings with properties comparable to those of extrusion‐coated, plastic‐grade polyolefins. Because of their low melt viscosity and consequent ease of application, they should find wide application in the packaging industry.
