Waxes Blends
xxx
Wax is the most effective regulator of adhesive properties. The primary function of waxes in products like Hot Melt Adhesives (HMA) is to reduce the melting point and viscosity, improve the fluidity and wettability, increase bonding strength, reduce agglomeration and ultimately reduce the cost of the glue. Cerax produces a range of blends that are suitable for hot melt and ‘cool’ melt applications.
Cerax Cool Melt
Congealing Point:
Colour:
A low melting temperature hot melt adhesive, used for heat sealable packaging and coating.
Cerax provides a range of waxes used in the packaging industry as moisture barrier and strength coatings for print paper and corrugated cardboard packaging. Blends are tailored to suit different viscosities and application temperatures, to carefully control the weight per square meter applied.
Cerax CC 315
Congealing Point: 76 +- 2 degree °C
Colour: Light Brown
A blend of paraffinic, microcrystalline, resin and polymers to create the optimum coating for corrugated cardboard used in the packaging industry.
Cerax CC 320
Congealing Point: 76 +- 2 degree °C
Colour: Off-white
A blend of food contact approved waxes, resins and polymers used as a barrier coating in corrugated cardboard for food packaging.
Cerax Flute Coating
Congealing Point:
Colour:
A blend of waxes, resins and polymers used in pre-coating fluting of corrugated cardboard, to improve water resistance and strength of cardboard packaging.
Flexible packaging waxes are formulated to provide barrier coatings to converted paper-for-packaging applications. Cerax makes bespoke blends to create twist wrap functionality or heat sealable applications. Grades can be manufactured with food contact approved materials if necessary.
Cerax twist-wrap
Congealing Point:
Colour:
A high performance blend of coating waxes for paper conversion that requires twist or flex.
Ceraflex
Congealing Point: 61-64 degrees °C
Penetration at 25 degree °C: 15 – 20
Viscosity: 12-15mm 2S
Colour: Saybolt>27
Low viscosity paper coating/impregnating wax that imparts high gloss, is quick melting, economical and suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Ceraflex Heat Seal
Congealing Point:
Colour:
High performance coating wax that can be used as a barrier coating. It may perform a dual function as a heat sealable coating when heat is applied.
Cerax produces a range of mining cartridge explosive wax blends that are optimised to provide the perfect medium for stable, water-in-wax emulsions. The blends can be altered to create specific rheologies and cartridge stiffness.
