Paper and Packaging
In the packaging sector, waxes are widely used for coating paper and cardboard due to their sealing properties and resistance to water and oil.
Depending on your quality requirements, such as the desired level of gloss, refined paraffin wax may be necessary, along with the possible addition of additives.
To promote biodegradable products and meet environmental standards, we also distribute plant-based waxes for paper coatings, particularly palm wax, known for its excellent waterproofing performance.
Food packaging requires specially formulated waxes to ensure safe contact with food.
Waxes in packaging serve various functions, such as:
- Protecting food during transport and handling
- Creating a barrier against moisture, vapors, and gases
- Preventing contamination with heat-sealed packaging
Wax is used in the treatment, coating, laminating, and impregnation of primary food-contact materials such as paper, cardboard, and aluminum.
Recent years have seen the rise of renewable packaging solutions, such as fabric wraps coated with beeswax—a natural alternative to plastic food storage wraps.
ADC supplies specialized waxes for the packaging industry.
We create custom technical wax formulations tailored to your specific needs.
Traditional packaging waxes are based on paraffins, but we also offer more natural formulations. Our goal is to stay at the forefront of wax development and continuously improve the performance of our waxes.
Natural wax formulations include beeswax, carnauba wax, and candelilla wax. Our expertise is at your disposal to develop waxes according to your specific requirements.
