Silicone oil paper, wax paper, Pe coated paper, aluminum foil paper, if distinguished, what are their specific uses ??
null

1. Simple distinction

 

Baking Tray Paper

1. Silicone oil paper (baking paper)
Appearance: White/natural leather sole, smooth surface, dry to the touch, non greasy
Coating: Coating the paper surface with food grade silicone oil (silicone oil)
Water/oil immersion test: Water droplets and oil droplets roll off as water droplets, anti sticking, waterproof, and oil resistant
Key feature: Anti stick! Non stick paper after baking food
Temperature resistance: Long term ≤ 220 ℃, short-term maximum 230 ℃

2. Wax paper (coated wax paper)
Appearance: Strong transparency, smooth and oily feel, easy to leave white wax marks when folded
Coating: double-sided/single-sided spray coating with food paraffin wax
Test: Scratching the nails vigorously can scrape off white wax shavings; High temperatures can melt and cause oil leakage
Temperature resistance: ≤ 45 ℃ for use at room temperature. Heating in ovens or air fryers is strictly prohibited

Silicone Paper for Baking

3. PE coated paper (plastic coated paper)
Appearance: One side matte paper, one side glossy plastic film, with obvious layering
Process: Heat melt and press a layer of PE plastic film (polyethylene) on the surface of the paper
Test: Tearing open the edge reveals a layer of transparent plastic film; Roasting with fire will melt the brushed and plastic smell
Temperature resistance: Ordinary PE coating can withstand up to 80-110 ℃ and cannot be put into the oven

4. Aluminum foil (tin foil)
Appearance: Metallic silver white, reflective, non breathable, non permeable, and non oil permeable
Material: Aluminum foil substrate, no paper coating
Features: fast thermal conductivity, light blocking, moisture locking, and strongest barrier properties; Not anti sticking
Temperature resistance: Stable within 600 ℃, the king of high temperature resistance

FAQ

 

1.Customer question: Can wax paper replace silicone oil paper for baking?
Answer: It's not possible! Wax melts when exposed to heat, which does not meet the food heating safety standards of various countries, and can only be packaged at room temperature.
2.The customer wants oil proof pad paper, unable to distinguish between coated paper and silicone oil paper
Short term room temperature packaging → PE coated paper; Need to enter oven/air fryer → silicone oil paper
3.How to choose between aluminum foil paper and silicone oil paper?
If you want to prevent sticking and easily retrieve food → Silicone paper
If you want to stay in high temperature for a long time, lock in moisture, and grill over charcoal fire → Aluminum foil paper
