Food grade paraffin wax 58/60

Here are some key points about using food grade paraffin wax on food wrapping paper:

Moisture barrier: food grade Paraffin wax forms an effective moisture barrier to prevent foods from drying out or becoming soggy in with the paper.

Grease resistance: The wax also acts as a barrier against absorption of oily/greasy foods into the paper fibers, keeping them contained.

Strength: The wax adds wet strength to the paper so it doesn't disintegrate when foods release moisture over time in storage/transport.

Coating thickness: A thin, uniform coating of 2-5 grams of wax per square meter is sufficient to provide barrier functions without overuse.

Application method: food grade Paraffin is typically applied to paper via roller coating while the fibers are still moist from manufacturing.

Safety: Food grade purity standards ensure any minor oral exposure from wax residue is safe.

Recyclability: Waxed papers can be recycled if the wax coating is water-soluble to break down during pulping.

Overall, food grade paraffin wax creates a cost-effective barrier layer for optimized food protection and quality in various types of wrapping papers.
