Food grade kraft paper: mainly made from coniferous wood sulfate wood pulp, coniferous wood fibers are long and tough, making kraft paper have high strength and toughness.
appearance
Food grade parchment: The color is generally semi transparent milky white or light yellow, with a smooth surface and a certain degree of glossiness, giving it a delicate appearance.
Food grade kraft paper: The color is mostly brown or brownish, with a relatively dark color, a relatively rough surface, and obvious fiber texture, giving people a simple and thick feeling.
characteristic
Food grade parchment paper: It has good waterproof and moisture-proof properties, which can prevent the penetration of moisture to a certain extent. At the same time, it has certain flexibility and folding resistance, and is not easy to break. In addition, it also has good thermal stability and can withstand a certain degree of high temperature.
Food grade kraft paper: It has high strength and toughness, tear resistance, wear resistance, and can withstand large tensile and compressive forces. It has good breathability, which can keep food breathing and extend its shelf life. Meanwhile, kraft paper also has some moisture resistance, but compared to parchment paper, its water resistance is slightly inferior.
purpose
Food grade parchment: commonly used for packaging foods that require moisture and freshness, such as pastries, candies, chocolates, etc. Due to its semi transparent nature, it can also be used to showcase the appearance of food and increase the attractiveness of the product. In addition, it can also be used for food baking as a baking pad to prevent food from sticking to the baking tray.
