The present invention relates to a process for the oxidation of withnMetallocene catalysts produced ethylene homo- and copolymer waxes in thenMelt by means of oxygen or gas mixtures containing oxygen, therebyncharacterized in that the oxidation of the polyethylene wax with addition ornpolyvalent inorganic acids or mono- or polyvalent carboxylic acidsn1 to 6 or 2 to 6 carbon atoms is carried out.n n n The process gives waxes with low melt viscosity and lighternColour. |
