Packaging
Bio Green Wax supplies specialised waxes for the packaging industry, providing essential moisture barriers, grease resistance, release properties, and protective coatings for paper, board, and flexible packaging applications.
Our packaging-grade product range includes Fully Refined Paraffin Wax, Semi Refined Paraffin Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax), Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Wax, Carnauba Wax, and Beeswax. These products are available in various grades specifically formulated for different packaging coating and lamination processes.
In corrugated and folding carton applications, our paraffin waxes provide effective waterproofing and moisture vapour barriers, extending the shelf life of perishable goods. Microcrystalline Wax enhances flexibility and adhesion in wax-coated papers and boards. PE Wax and FT Wax serve as slip agents, anti-block additives, and processing aids in flexible packaging film production.
For food-contact packaging, we supply waxes that comply with FDA 21 CFR, EU Regulation 10/2011, and other food-contact material regulations. Carnauba Wax and Beeswax offer natural, sustainable coating solutions for premium food packaging where consumers value clean-label credentials.
Our waxes also serve the release paper and label industry, providing consistent and controlled release properties for silicone-coated papers, pressure-sensitive adhesive labels, and industrial release liners.
All products are supplied with full technical specifications, certificates of analysis, and regulatory compliance documentation. We offer bulk and packaged delivery options with reliable logistics to match your production schedules. Our technical team can assist with wax selection, application method guidance, and custom blending to meet your specific packaging performance requirements.
Products for Packaging
Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C)
Fully refined paraffin wax (CAS 8002-74-2) is petroleum wax hydrotreated to below 0.5 percent oil content. Supplied in melting grades from 50 to 68 degrees Celsius, it is odourless, white and approved for food contact.
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C)
Semi refined paraffin wax carries 0.5 to 1.5 percent residual oil against the fully refined grade's 0.5 percent maximum. That extra oil lowers the cost and improves mould release, at the price of a faint odour and slight colour.
Microcrystalline Wax
Microcrystalline wax (CAS 63231-60-7) is petroleum wax made of branched and cyclic hydrocarbons rather than straight chains. The irregular molecules cannot pack neatly, so it forms tiny crystals and is flexible and tacky where paraffin is brittle.
Polyethylene Wax (PE wax)
Polyethylene wax (CAS 9002-88-4) is low molecular weight polyethylene melting between about 100 and 130 degrees Celsius. Added at one to three percent it hardens a candle, raises gloss and helps hold fragrance and colour in place.
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax
Fischer‑Tropsch (FT) wax is a high‑purity synthetic paraffin wax produced from syngas, offering high melting point, low viscosity, and excellent hardness for demanding applications in plastics, coatings, inks, adhesives, and bitumen modification
Carnauba Wax
Carnauba wax (CAS 8015-86-9, INCI Copernicia Cerifera Wax) is harvested from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm. Melting at 82 to 86 degrees Celsius, it is the hardest natural wax in commercial use and gives the highest gloss.
Beeswax
Beeswax (CAS 8012-89-3 yellow, 8006-40-4 white; INCI Cera Flava and Cera Alba) is secreted by worker honeybees to build comb. It melts at 61 to 65 degrees Celsius and is the reference natural wax for candles, cosmetics and polishes.
Palm Wax
Palm wax (CAS 8021-56-5, INCI Hydrogenated Palm Oil) is hydrogenated palm oil, supplied in melting bands from 42 to 60 degrees Celsius. It is the only common vegetable wax that forms a decorative crystalline pattern as it sets.
Rapeseed Wax
Rapeseed wax is hydrogenated rapeseed oil, supplied as blocks melting at 42 to 52 degrees Celsius or pellets at 52 to 60. European-grown and vegan, it has become the preferred soy alternative for candle makers sourcing within Europe.
