Waxed Paper

📦 Technical Description – Waxed Paper

Durable and practical protection against moisture, grease and contamination

Waxed paper is a specially treated packaging paper with a surface impregnated with paraffin, wax or bituminous compounds, providing excellent barrier properties against moisture, grease and dust. It is primarily used as a protective packaging material where products need to be shielded from environmental influences while maintaining strength and ease of handling.

It is manufactured from kraft paper or other durable paper grades coated with an impregnating layer. Available in rolls or sheets, it can be easily cut, folded or wrapped according to specific packaging requirements. Waxed paper is suitable for packaging machine components, metal parts, steel products, chemicals and food products where protection against moisture and grease penetration is required.
