Paraffin in the Food Industry – The Key to Freshness and Quality 17 January 2025

Paraffin has long been an essential component in the food industry, playing a vital role in production processes aimed at ensuring high-quality standards and product durability. Let’s explore the applications of paraffin, including our products, in the food sector and their benefits for both manufacturers and consumers.

1. Cheese Coating:

Paraffin is commonly used to coat ripened rennet cheeses, providing protection against external factors and maintaining product freshness for extended periods. Our products, such as Red Plastic Wax, S Plastic Wax, and Green Plastic Wax, not only deliver excellent protection but also form a durable layer that safeguards the cheese from negative environmental impacts.

2. Feather Removal in Poultry Processing:

In the food industry, particularly in poultry processing, feather removal is a critical step. Polwax has developed a series of paraffin-based products (Droma Wax, Droma T Wax, Droma Plus Wax, and Alpackwax G) that enable efficient defeathering, even for the most challenging carcasses. Our waxes ensure quick and effective feather removal, leading to increased productivity and time savings. Moreover, each wax meets the required standards and is certified for direct contact with food.

3. Coating Paper Packaging:

Paraffin also finds extensive use in coating paper and cardboard used as packaging for food products. Thanks to paraffin’s insulating properties, these packages become more resistant to moisture and contamination, effectively protecting their contents from external factors. Paraffin creates a barrier that not only preserves freshness and quality but also extends the shelf life of food products.

Conclusion:

Paraffin is an integral element in the food industry, playing a key role in maintaining freshness, quality, and durability. Our products, available in various formulations, are excellent solutions for manufacturers seeking effective production processes. With paraffin, we can ensure that food products entering the market are of the highest quality and meet consumer expectations.
