The waxes and paraffins are very diverse and range from the most common as the manufacture of candles, to other more singular as the waxing of surfboards, the protection of fruit stems or the manufacture of waterproofing that are used even in the aeronautical industry.
In the flexible packaging sector, paraffins are widely used for the coating of paper and cardboard due to their waterproofing properties and resistance to water and oil.
Depending on the application of paraffin paper or gloss intensity, it will be necessary to use only a refined paraffin, a refined additivated paraffin with polymers (glossy waxed paper) or a rolling wax (aluminium paper).
Currently, to promote biodegradable and compostable products, we are starting to work with vegetable waxes for paper coating, especially palm wax, given the good results of waterproofing and migration.
