TECMELT 269 and 461 are used for coating of corrugated cartons, using a curtain coater. Theses waxes must have
the ability to form a continuous film or curtain of wax. The films must be sufficiently robust not to form “fish
eyes” while coating the cartons at high speed. High moisture barrier properties are also essential.

Application temperature recommended: 110-125 ºC

For optimizing product we suggest: 20/25 gr/m²
TECMELT 825, 70/30 and 70/30 H are used in the treatment of carton board corrugated for improving the
mechanical resistance of the paper.

More and more paper used for this purpose are recycled papers and their mechanical parameters have to be strengthened
with these types of special waxes.

The temperature of working we suggest: 110/130ºC

4% of product on paper weight used at this range of temperature.

With recycled paper Sintemelt 830 and 70/30 improve by 25% their Mechanical resistance and provide a good barrier
against the humidity and water.
TECMELT 180 and 181 are used in the treatment on the internal liner of the corrugated carton board to improve
the barrier against humidity and water.
•
These series of products are coated at 90/110 ºC depending on the type of paper being coated.
•
Products according to the reglamentation FDA regulations for foodstuff nºCFR 172886 and 1783710

•
These type of products for coating wax are a medium-viscous gloss wax specially developed for glossy paper
which needs a combination of high gloss and flexibility of the coating, and a low scuff.
•
Depending on the viscosity of the product that you choose we can suggest as follows:
•
For medium and high viscosity is suitable for application on more porous paper.
•
For low viscosity would be for applications on non-porous paper.
•
Normally these products are used at 110/125 ºC.
•
For one side coating and always depending on the paper type the amount of wax is about 10gr/m².
•
These products are applied in the preparation of coated substances which are used as packaging materials for
foodstuffs.
•
These series of products meet the requirements stipulated by FDA regulations for foodstuff nºCFR 172886
and 1783710.
•
Products supplied in:
•
Slabs of approx. 5 kg wrapped in large carton on slabs of apprx.800 kg or in cartons of approx.25 kg
•
Pellets in bags of 25 kg net in pallet of approx. 800 kg

3. COATING WAX(SEALABLE)
•
These series of products are used for packaging purposes.
•
Normally we use these type of waxes to seal two different types of support. They have an excellent sealing
strength to paper, aluminium foil, Polyolefin films(PP,PE,PP,PS)
•
Depending on the viscosity of the product we propose to the customer we can be working at different
temperatures: bewteen 130ºC for waxes with a low viscosity and 150ºC for waxes with a medium-high
viscosity.
•
We can consider to use an average of 10/15 gr/m² to assure a good sealing
•
These guidelines vary according to machines used and processing conditions.
•
These series of products meet the requirements stipulated by FDA regulations for foodstuff nºCFR 172886
and 1783710.
•
Products available in slabs and pellets appearance.
•
Slabs of approx. 5 kg wrapped in large carton of appox 800 kg or in cartons of approx.25 kg

4.LAMINATING WAX
•
TECMELT series are laminating waxes, specially developed for the manufactuing of butter and
margarine wrappers,without these becoming embossed.
•
TECMELT for Laminating waxes are recommended for wrappers, which must not only be grease
resistant, but also waterproof.
•
Other use for TECMELT lamination for instance: paper/paper, aliminium/tissue.
•
Key advantages: Flexibility: good adhesion to the supports: resistance against delamination
•
Depending on the type of product we choose we can suggest to work at 110/130ºC.
•
If the support to coat is porous we recommended the use of TECMELT L224
with medium/high
viscosity.
•
The average quantity we can use : 12-16 gr/m²
•
These series of products meet the requirements stipulated by FDA regulations for foodstuff nºCFR
172886 and 1783710.
•
Products supplied in:
•
Slabs of approx. 5 kg wrapped in large carton on slabs of apprx.800 kg or in cartons of approx.25 kg
