Wax emulsions for contact with food
Wax emulsions for contact with food We offer a range of paraffin emulsions designed for food applications that comply with FDA regulations for products that come into contact with food. They are prepared from a mixture of carefully chosen refined paraffins that have been treated to guarantee the best waterproofing performance. They have been emulsified with a selection of surfactants capable of ensuring maximum stability during transport and handling. They are characterised by creating an excellent moisture barrier, great coverage capacity, stability for handling and storage and for showing an excellent resistance to hard water. They are especially suitable for coating all types of paper to wrap food, special decorative paper and wood or cardboard boxes to transport food, to manufacture bottle corks and, in general, for any type of application that may come in contact with food. rp-catalog-contentfragment-dataSheet-text FDA Approved Redemul See pdf (14,13 KB)
