The ParaFree range provides an alternative to petroleum-based ingredients. The paraffin wax free solution is resistant to several oils and condiments and repels water.
With the wax eliminated, the basis weight of the end-use product is lowered. Therefore, the overall material use is also reduced, positively affecting the supply chain in an environmental sense.
