Product Features
Food grade paraffin wax is widely used in food packaging materials to prevent moisture, adhesion, and oil. Chinese manufacturers provide food grade paraffin in stock, with good prices and excellent quality. Welcome to contact us for a quotation.
It is a type of paraffin wax that meets strict safety and purity standards for use in food-related applications. It is commonly used in the production of food packaging materials to provide a protective coating or moisture barrier.
Product Application
It offers several advantages for food packaging:
Contaminant resistance: It forms a protective layer that helps prevent moisture, odors, and contaminants from reaching the packaged food, thus maintaining its freshness and quality.
Heat resistance: This wax has a high melting point, allowing it to withstand heat during packaging processes such as sealing or heat sealing without melting or transferring to the food.
Non-toxic and odorless: It is carefully refined and purified to ensure it does not contain harmful substances or impart any unwanted taste or odor to the food.
Extended shelf life: The moisture barrier provided by food grade paraffin wax helps to extend the shelf life of the packaged food by reducing moisture loss and preventing spoilage.
When using this wax for food packaging, it is essential to adhere to regulatory guidelines and ensure proper application techniques to maintain food safety standards.

FAQs:
What are the safety regulations and certifications associated with food grade paraffin wax?
It must comply with strict safety regulations and certifications to ensure its suitability for contact with food. These regulations may vary depending on the country or region, but common certifications include FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval in the United States and compliance with regulations such as the European unio's Food Contact Materials (FCM) regulations. Manufacturers typically provide documentation and certifications to validate its safety and compliance with relevant standards.
What are the common applications of food grade paraffin wax in food packaging?
It finds various applications in food packaging materials. Some common uses include:
Coating for cheese and fruits: It can be used to provide a protective coating on cheeses, fruits, and vegetables, extending their shelf life and preserving their freshness.
Confectionery and chocolate coating: It is utilized to create a glossy and protective coating on confectionery items like chocolates, candies, and coated fruits.
Bakery release agent: It can act as a release agent to prevent baked goods from sticking to baking surfaces, molds, or packaging materials.
Edible coatings: It can be combined with other edible ingredients to create a thin, protective coating on fruits, vegetables, or other perishable food items, helping to extend their shelf life and maintain their quality.
These applications demonstrate the versatility and benefits of using it in food packaging, ensuring food safety and preserving the quality of packaged food items.
