Food & Poultry Processing Wax Solutions for Safety, Quality and Compliance

At Kerax, we supply high-quality food safe wax solutions designed for the food and poultry processing industries. Our range includes food grade paraffin wax, waxed food wrap, and related wax products that help improve product safety, packaging performance, and process efficiency.

From poultry food processing facilities to artisanal food producers, Kerax waxes are formulated to meet stringent industry standards while supporting hygienic food handling and extended shelf life.

 

What Is Food Grade Wax and Why It Matters

Food grade paraffin wax and other food safe wax products are specially refined and tested to ensure they are safe for direct or indirect contact with food. These waxes are free from harmful contaminants, making them suitable for use in food packaging, coating, and handling applications.

Kerax food-grade waxes are used in:

  • Waxed food wrap to protect fresh produce and bakery items

  • Food wax paper for safe food storage and barrier protection

  • Coatings for cheese, fruits and vegetables

  • Packaging inserts that help prevent moisture loss

Using approved wax formulations helps food and poultry processors comply with food safety regulations while improving product appearance and freshness.

 

Food Grade Paraffin Wax — Versatile and Safe

Kerax food grade paraffin wax is a refined, high-purity wax widely used across the food industry. It offers:

  • Excellent barrier properties

  • Neutral odour and taste

  • High melting consistency

  • Non-toxic formulation

Our food grade paraffin wax is compliant with food contact standards and is ideal for applications where product safety and regulatory compliance are essential — including meat, poultry, dairy, confectionery, and fresh produce sectors.

 

Waxed Food Wrap & Food Wax Paper — Essential Food Packaging Solutions

Waxed Food Wrap

Kerax waxed food wrap provides a protective barrier that helps retain moisture, prevent spoilage, and maintain product freshness. Its breathable surface makes it excellent for wrapping bakery items, cheeses, and produce.

Food Wax Paper

Food wax paper treated with our food safe wax is widely used in food preparation and packaging. It provides:

  • A non-stick surface

  • Protective moisture resistance

  • Clean handling for customers and chefs

Both waxed wraps and wax paper products help food producers, caterers, and home cooks handle and store food safely.

 

Poultry Food Processing — Quality Wax Solutions for Hygiene and Performance

In poultry food processing, maintaining a clean, contaminant-free environment is essential. Kerax supplies specialised wax products that support:

  • Coating and sealing applications that protect against moisture ingress

  • Surface treatments that reduce friction on conveyor systems

  • Food contact protection where wax coatings form barriers

  • Enhanced hygiene in processing lines

Our wax solutions are designed to meet the demands of commercial poultry processors, ensuring products are handled safely and efficiently from production to packaging.
