Microcrystalline wax used as coating for packaging paper

The application of microcrystalline wax in packaging paper manifests
primarily in the following aspects: Firstly, it imparts gloss and water-
repellent properties to the paper, enhancing both the product's visual appeal
and protective capabilities. Secondly, as a coating, microcrystalline wax
strengthens the packaging paper's resistance to moisture, grease, and
adhesion, making it suitable for scenarios requiring isolation from dampness
and oils. Additionally, microcrystalline wax improves paper flexibility and
heat-sealing properties, making it more suitable for specialised packaging
materials such as cardstock and corrugated board. This application not only
enhances packaging functionality but also extends product shelf life.
