Product Details

Product Features

 

Food-grade paraffin wax is often used in packaging materials for food items, including bubble gum paper. This is because it serves as an excellent barrier against moisture and odors, helping to prolong the freshness of the food product. Here's a brief description of how it is used and why:

 

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft, solid wax. It's made from saturated hydrocarbons. It's often used in packaging for its inertness (it doesn't react with food products), and its excellent moisture barrier properties.

 

 

Application in Bubble Gum Paper

 

Bubble gum is often wrapped in a thin sheet of paper. This paper needs to provide a barrier against moisture to keep the gum fresh and prevent it from drying out or becoming stale. For this purpose, the paper is often coated with food-grade paraffin wax.

 

Benefits

 

Moisture Barrier: Paraffin wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. When applied to bubble gum paper, it forms a barrier that prevents moisture from reaching the gum.

 

Odor Barrier: Paraffin wax also forms a barrier against odors. This helps to keep the flavor of the gum intact and prevents it from absorbing odors from the environment.

 

Food Safety: Since food-grade paraffin wax is inert, it doesn't react with the gum or with the other packaging materials. This makes it a safe choice for food packaging.

 

Cost-Effectiveness: Paraffin wax is relatively cheap and easy to apply, making it a cost-effective solution for food packaging needs.

 

Application Process

 

The application process usually involves melting the paraffin wax and applying it to the paper in a thin layer. Once the wax cools and solidifies, it forms a shiny coating on the surface of the paper.

 

The waxed paper can then be cut and shaped appropriately for wrapping individual pieces of bubble gum. The end result is a packaging material that keeps the bubble gum fresh and flavorful until it's ready to be enjoyed.

 

While it's a common and safe material for food packaging, it's always important for manufacturers to ensure they're using food-grade paraffin wax and adhering to all relevant safety standards and regulations.
