Waxed Base Paper
Product Features
It is a specialty base paper specifically designed for surface coating with paraffin wax/microcrystalline wax. Its core features are high smoothness, high formation uniformity, strong bonding strength, and food-grade safety. After waxing, it forms a barrier layer that is water proof, greaseproof , moisture-proof, and rust-proof.

Waxed Paper vs. Parchment Paper?
| Waxed Paper | Parchment Paper | |
| Composition | Paper coated with a thin layer of wax (usually paraffin or vegetable-based) | Paper treated with silicone to create a non-stick, heat-resistant surface |
| Moisture Resistance | Excellent, the wax coating provides a good barrier against moisture and grease | Moderate – naturally moisture-resistant, but not as impermeable as waxed paper |
| Heat Resistance | Low, not suitable for use in ovens; wax melts or can ignite | High – safe for oven use, typically up to 220–260°C (428–500°F) |
| Non-stick Properties | Very good, due to wax coating | Excellent, especially for baking applications |
| Recyclability | Not easily recyclable due to wax coating | Often compostable and more eco-friendly, depending on formulation |
| Typical Uses | - Wrapping cold foods - Lining surfaces for rolling dough - Separating sticky items like candy or cheese - Slip sheets for industrial parts |
- Baking sheet liner - Roasting and steaming - Non-stick surface for cookies, pastries, and roasting vegetables |
| Not Recommended For | Oven or high-heat applications | Direct contact with open flames or high broiler heat |
| Surface Feel | Slightly waxy, smooth to the touch | Dry, slightly textured, almost velvety surface |
