Microcrystalline wax used for paper processing

Microcrystalline wax, as a key component in coating formulations, primarily
serves the following functions:
Superior water resistance and moisture barrier: Possessing a fine crystalline
structure and high melting point, microcrystalline wax forms a dense,
flexible hydrophobic film that effectively blocks moisture and humidity,
protecting the contents. This is crucial for outer packaging of foodstuffs,
pharmaceuticals, and frozen products.
Superior anti-adhesion and separation properties: Used in release liners or
packaging papers for sticky products (e.g., adhesive tapes, adhesives,
confectionery) to prevent adhesion between the product and the paper.
Enhanced gloss and smoothness: Incorporation into the coating layer
significantly improves the surface gloss and printability of the paper,
resulting in a more refined appearance.
Improved abrasion and scratch resistance: Wax coatings shield printed
graphics, reducing wear during transport and handling.
Enhanced flexibility: Prevents tearing during folding or forming processes
for paper and cardboard.
