Our Coating waxes range includes

PARAFLEX ™ CW (Non-sealable waxes for gloss & barrier): Wide range of these wax are available for different types of paper, machine viscosity and balances between gloss and scuff resistance. These waxes are used for twist, fold, bunch and sachet wrappers for sweets, meat and cheese wrappers, flower wrappers, technical wrapping papers and decorative papers.

PARAFLEX ™ WS (Waxy peel-seal grades): This grade can be used for either single or double-side coatings to provide an easy-open, peel-seal coating for the packaging of, for example, bread, sweets and chewing gum.

PARAFLEX ™ HS (High-strength Heat Seal Hotmelt waxes): These grades offer a higher sealing strength and specific adhesion to a broad range of both polar and non-polar substrates, such as PE, PP, PS, PET, PLA, glass and aluminum. Common applications for the Paraflex HS range of products include yogurt banderole (in-mould labelling / IML), soap wrappers, lidding, cap seal liners or in-register coated confectionery laminates.

PARAFLEX NOWAX™ (Vegetable based waxes) offer a sustainable answer to a host of today’s packaging challenges with a positive consumer image. These coating waxes provide paper-based packaging with the needed functionality like controllable barrier properties, high gloss levels, excellent release characteristics and bring additional machineability benefits like low coefficient of friction, good scuff resistance and heat sealability. They can be run on existing wax coating equipment and depending on applied coating weight, can meet all renewability and ‘end of life’ requirements.

PARAFLEX L range provides laminating waxes for use with many different substrates including paper, aluminium foil, paperboard, cellophane and plastic films (PE, PP, PS, PET, PLA) depending on the target complex. Wax laminated structures are used in a wide variety of end-use applications such as butter and margarine wrappers, confectionery packaging, biscuit and cheese wrappers, bouillon, soup and stock cubes.

PARAFLEX ™ LT range has been specifically developed to offer effective lamination and subsequent controlled delamination in cap-seal liner wads. Paramelt offers a number of products balancing cost and performance in relation to die cutting resistance, heat resistance, bond strength and subsequent release. Liner wads are widely used as an induction sealable closure element in combination with screw caps. Typical examples are lubricants and household chemicals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, instant-coffee jars and high-fat spreads. In addition to cap-seal liners the ability of these waxes to ‘strike-through’ the paper-based substrate has also found application in heat-sealable laminates, for example between silk paper and aluminum foil.
