Bottling wax

?

Bottling Wax is a decorative and functional coating used to seal and protect bottle closures, enhancing both appearance and preservation. Available in a wide range of colours, it provides a secure seal that helps prevent leakage and contamination while adding a touch of elegance to the packaging. Ideal for wines, spirits, and speciality beverages, bottling wax ensures product integrity and adds a distinctive, professional finish.

Application

Bottle is dipped into the molten wax and once removed it sets rapidly (or can be dipped in water) to give a smooth wax layer over the neck of the bottle.

Coloured Bottling waxes are applied at temperatures between 75°C and 85°C depending on the desired thickness.

Packaging

1 kg slabs in virgin plastic sheeting.
