Microcrystalline wax is employed in packaging paper primarily for the following purposes:
Exceptional moisture and water barrier properties: It effectively prevents the penetration of water vapour and liquid water, safeguarding contents from dampness. This constitutes its core function.
Enhanced gloss and aesthetic appeal: It imparts a lustrous finish to the packaging paper surface, elevating the perceived quality of the product's appearance.
Enhanced abrasion resistance and durability: The wax coating increases the mechanical strength of the paper surface, reducing wear during transportation and handling.
Typical application areas include:
Industrial packaging
Rust-proof packaging paper for metal products
Moisture-proof inner liners for fertilisers and chemical products
Sealing layer for composite paper cans.
