Get in TouchParamelt supplies a range of microcrystalline wax additives and specialty blends to the chewing gum industry, both to brand owners and gum base producers.
Paramelt supplies hard and semi-hard microcrystalline waxes used in chewing gum bases to ensure proper texture and stability. All waxes meet strict food-grade and regulatory standards.
Paramelt formulates specialty thermoplastic blends with viscosities up to 1 million mPa.s and temperatures up to 180°C in a food-safe environment. These pre-blended concentrates of rubbers or resins in wax help simplify customers’ manufacturing processes.
The composition of chewing gum base differs among brands and is kept secret. Modern gum typically uses synthetic rubbers like PIB and SBR for flexibility and cohesion, combined with natural resins for chew texture and oils or fatty acids to soften the gum.
In chewing gum formulations, wax plays a key role by improving compatibility among polymers, resins, and oils. It adds plasticity, acts as a release agent to reduce tackiness, provides structure and stability through its crystalline nature, and offers strong oil-binding capacity to maintain gum consistency.
