Cartowax^®: Strength and Protection

The Cartowax^® product line, developed and manufactured by Multiceras, is integrated by wax blends specifically formulated to improve the properties and characteristics of corrugated cardboard boxes. Fortified with special additive packages for each application system and use, the Cartowax^® products provide excellent functionality and performance.

The properties of corrugated cardboard boxes, which are reinforced by applying Cartowax^® products, are the following:

Humidity Resistance: Due to its protective nature, the Cartowax^® products give the cardboard a greater protection against humidity, enabling the packed product to keep entirely its properties. Moreover, the Cartowax^® application improves the strength and consistency of cardboard boxes, even when exposed to freezing temperatures for long periods of time.

Stowing Stiffness: Cartowax^® increases the stiffness of corrugated cardboard boxes, improving their stowing capacity, thus leading to a more efficient and economic storage.

Lower blocking index: The higher blocking points of Cartowax^® products decrease the blocking tendency of cardboard boxes during handling and storage.

Flexibility: The application of Cartowax^® products improve the folding properties in the lines and marks of corrugated cardboard boxes.
