Paper & Printing
Bio Green Wax supplies specialised waxes for the paper manufacturing, converting, and printing industries, providing essential coatings, impregnation treatments, and ink additives that enhance paper performance and print quality.
Our paper and printing 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. Each product is available in grades specifically suited to paper coating, impregnation, and printing ink applications.
In paper coating and converting, paraffin waxes provide effective moisture barriers and water resistance for packaging papers, cup stock, and waxed papers. Microcrystalline Wax enhances flexibility and coating adhesion, preventing cracking during folding and creasing operations. These wax coatings are widely used in food wrapping papers, bakery papers, and industrial packaging.
For printing applications, PE Wax and FT Wax are essential additives in printing inks and overprint varnishes, providing rub resistance, anti-scuff properties, and improved ink transfer. Carnauba Wax delivers high gloss and superior scratch resistance in premium packaging and label printing. Our waxes are compatible with offset, flexographic, gravure, and digital printing ink systems.
We also supply waxes for specialty paper applications including release papers, carbon papers, wax-coated corrugated boards, and impregnated wrapping papers. Our products ensure consistent coating weight, uniform coverage, and reliable performance across high-speed paper coating and printing lines.
All products are delivered with comprehensive technical specifications and certificates of analysis. Our team provides technical support on wax selection, application methods, and coating formulations to help you optimise your paper manufacturing and printing processes for quality and efficiency.
Products for Paper & Printing
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.
