Waxed Paper: Properties and Industrial Uses

Waxed paper is a versatile and essential material in multiple industrial sectors, thanks to its unique properties. This paper, impregnated with paraffin, provides an effective barrier against moisture, oils, and external agents. At Arrosi, we not only recognize the importance of conventional waxed paper but also specialize in paraffined crepe paper, an ideal solution for industrial applications requiring greater flexibility and resistance.

Waxed Paper: Properties and Industrial Uses

What is waxed paper?
Waxed paper is produced by impregnating paper with paraffin, a petroleum-derived substance which provides hydrophobic and protective properties. When this technique is applied to crepe paper, the result is a material that combines the elasticity and strength of crepe with the protective capabilities of paraffin.
At Arrosi, we take this combination to the next level, offering paraffined crepe paper specifically designed to protect industrial products and packaging under demanding conditions.

Key properties of waxed paper (and paraffined crepe paper):

  • Moisture resistance:
    Paraffin creates a waterproof barrier, ideal for protecting products in humid environments.
  • Elasticity and adaptability:
    For paraffined crepe paper, the crepe structure adds extra flexibility, enabling to wrap complex-shaped objects without compromising protection.
  • Barrier against grease and oils:
    Perfect for greasy products or industrial parts that need to remain contamination-free.
  • Enhanced durability:
    The paraffining process increases the paper’s strength, making it suitable for repeated or prolonged use.
  • Recyclability:
    When biodegradable or natural paraffins are used, these papers can be recycled, contributing to a more sustainable industry.

Uses of waxed paper at Arrosi

  1. Industrial packaging
    Our paraffined crepe paper is ideal for wrapping mechanical parts, protecting metal components from corrosion, and ensuring that products reach their destination intact.
  2. Food and pharmaceutical industries
    While conventional waxed paper is widely used in these sectors, Arrosi’s paraffined crepe paper offers additional advantages in specific applications that require a more flexible and durable material.
  3. Protection during transportation and storage
    Paraffined crepe paper provides an effective solution for protecting delicate or valuable objects during transport, as its texture prevents slipping and damage.
  4. Specialized applications
    Paraffined crepe paper is also used in construction projects as a vapor barrier and in sectors requiring packaging with both protective and adaptable properties.

Advantages of paraffined crepe paper

  • Superior flexibility: Thanks to its structure, paraffined crepe paper can adapt to irregular shapes without losing its protective properties.
  • Greater strength: Compared with traditional waxed paper, paraffined crepe paper provides a more robust solution for industrial applications.
  • Efficient material use: Its stretchability allows more surface coverage with less material.
