WAX PACKAGING

SCHC has exclusive Wax treatments to offer you cost-effective, water-resistant packaging. Before becoming acquainted with them, it’s useful to know the three most common methods of wax application:

Wax Impregnation: It imparts a dry wax coating to the containerboard during corrugated operations.
Curtain Coating: It’s applied to flat blanks by passing the sheet horizontally through a thin continuous curtain of polymer-modified wax, which forms a film over the entire surface of the walls of the board.
Cascading: It’s applied to a box or blank passing vertically through multiple cascades of paraffin-based wax with the objective of saturating the combined board. This is the most water resistant.

SCHC uses these three techniques, sometimes overlapped, plus various paperweights and unusual box shapes, to ensure you have as much protection, leakage resistance, long-distance resistance, stacking strength, and large load capacity as each one of your products requires.

These are the SCHC-exclusive Wax treatments:

• Duo Wax Treatment™: Wax curtain coated on the inside and on the outside.
• Rambo Lock Wax Barrier™- 3 levels Wax certification: Heavy wax curtain coating on both sides and full wax-impregnated medium/flute.

• Wax Cascaded/saturated: Wax dipped to saturate all of the components with heavy wax.
