Granular food wax, also known as food-grade wax, is a specialized wax product used in the corrugated board industry for various applications. It is specifically designed to provide a protective coating to corrugated boards used in food packaging.

One of the primary functions of wax is to enhance the moisture resistance of the corrugated board. It forms a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the board, thereby preserving the integrity and strength of the packaging. This is particularly important for food products that are prone to moisture damage, such as fresh produce or frozen goods.

In addition to moisture resistance, food grade wax also helps to improve the grease resistance of the corrugated board. It acts as a barrier against oils and fats, preventing them from seeping into the packaging and compromising its structural integrity. This is crucial for packaging food items that contain oils, such as fried foods or greasy snacks.

Furthermore, food wax provides a smooth and glossy surface to the corrugated board, enhancing its visual appeal. The wax coating gives the packaging a professional and attractive finish, making it more appealing to consumers.

The application of wax on corrugated boards is typically done through a wax curtain coater or a similar coating process. The boards are passed through the wax curtain, and the granular wax adheres to their surface, forming a uniform and consistent coating.
