Sustainable barrier solutions across multiple industries
From fresh produce to building materials, our bio-wax technology creates protective barriers where you need them most—without compromising sustainability.
Extend shelf life naturally while maintaining quality and appearance
Fresh fruits and vegetables lose moisture, firmness, and nutritional value rapidly after harvest. Up to 40% of fresh produce is wasted globally due to spoilage during storage and transport.
BioNatura's edible wax coatings create a semi-permeable barrier that:
7-21 days additional storage time depending on produce type
50-70% less moisture loss compared to uncoated produce
Preserves firmness, color, and nutritional content
GRAS-certified ingredients, organic compatible
Transform paper and biopolymers into high-performance food packaging
The global shift away from plastic packaging requires sustainable alternatives with comparable barrier properties. Paper and biopolymer substrates need functional coatings to protect food products.
Water-based wax dispersion coatings that provide:
| Water Vapor Transmission Rate | <10 g/m²/day |
| Grease Resistance (Kit Rating) | 8-12 |
| Coating Weight | 3-12 g/m² |
Weather-resistant protection for sustainable construction
Bio-based building materials (wood fiber, straw bale, hemp, etc.) require weather protection without compromising their environmental benefits or breathability.
Wax-based water repellent coatings that:
Contact angle >110°, water absorption reduced by 70-90%
Maintains breathability to prevent moisture trapping
Weather-resistant for 3-5 years exterior exposure
No VOCs, biodegradable, safe for sensitive environments
Decking, siding, fencing, outdoor furniture
Hemp, wood fiber, straw bale protection
Breathable water repellent for stone, brick, concrete
Wood-plastic composites, fiber-cement boards
Natural film formers and protective barriers for skin and hair care
Consumers demand natural, transparent ingredient lists. Synthetic polymers and silicones face increasing scrutiny and regulatory pressure.
Bio-wax emulsions provide natural alternatives for:
Lipsticks, mascaras, eyeliners, foundations
Lotions, creams, balms, protective barriers
Styling products, shine serums, protective sprays
Water-resistant sunscreens, after-sun products
