Joncryl Wax 30 is a versatile polyethylene emulsion specifically designed for use in food packaging inks and overprint varnishes (OPVs). Joncryl Wax 30 was developed as a replacement for Joncryl Wax 28, which was impacted by a raw material reclassification. As part of our dedication to offering a range of sustainable, state-of-the-art products, this new product provides the same superior rub resistance, gloss, clarity, and broad food contact compliance while replacing the reclassified component.
As the newest member of BASF’s broad portfolio for food packaging applications, Joncryl Wax 30’s versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from fast food wraps and bags to folding cartons used for dry foods. This product enhances the durability and visual appeal of packaging materials, making it an ideal choice for demanding food packaging applications.
Joncryl Wax 30 is a great option for use in formulating with our Joncryl DFC portfolio, which includes several other standout products tailored to meet a variety of applications with broad food contact compliances.
Joncryl DFC 3025 is a medium molecular weight resin solution offering balanced performance, while Joncryl DFC 3030 is a soft-film forming emulsion providing flexibility for applications requiring a pliable finish. Joncryl DFC 3040, known for its hard film-forming properties, offers excellent rub and block resistance, ensuring durability in demanding conditions. Lastly, Joncryl DFC 3050 is a non-film forming emulsion that dries quickly and provides block resistance, perfect for applications needing rapid processing.
Joncryl Wax 30 is also a key addition to BASF’s Functional Packaging Coatings portfolio. This collection includes a range of high-performance coatings designed to meet the diverse needs of the packaging industry, while placing an emphasis on contributing to a sustainable future. From barrier coatings that protect against liquids and moisture vapor to heat-sealable coatings that ensure product integrity, BASF’s functional packaging solutions provide comprehensive answers to various packaging challenges.
The portfolio features two standout product lines: Joncryl HPB and Joncryl HSL. The Joncryl HPB (High Performance Barrier) coatings offer excellent protection against liquids and moisture vapor, making them ideal for functionalized paper and board packaging applications. Joncryl HSL (Heat Sealable Lacquers) ensure product integrity by providing a secure seal and smooth peeling behavior. By choosing these products, our customers can formulate sustainable solutions without sacrificing performance.
