Two types of disposable paper cups

Disposable paper cups can be divided into two main types: waxed paper cups and PE coated paper cups. These two types of paper cups are suitable for different occasions and cannot be mixed. They are also not suitable for alcoholic beverages because alcohol can cause paper cups to leak, and long-term use will aggravate the leakage.

Waxed paper cups

Waxed paper cups are coated with wax on the inner wall to prevent drinks or food from coming into direct contact with the paper cup. They are usually used for cold drinks. Some people worry that waxed paper cups cannot be used for hot drinks because the wax will melt and mix into the food, affecting health. In fact, standard waxed paper cups use edible wax, which is non-toxic and insoluble in water. It has a low melting point (about 0°-5°), but even so, when using hot water, only a small amount of wax will enter the body, so there is no need to worry too much.

PE coated paper cups
The inner wall of the PE paper cup is coated with a layer of PE film, which is smooth and has good waterproof and oil-proof properties. PE (polyethylene) is a safe chemical commonly used in food processing, commonly known as plastic. It is odorless, non-toxic, has low water absorption, and has a melting point between 120°-140°, which is much higher than the boiling point of water, 100°. Most of the disposable paper cups on the market are single-layer PE-coated paper cups.

Among waxed paper cups, regular products use edible wax, while inferior products may use industrial wax, which contains impurities and may be harmful to health when consumed. Among PE-coated paper cups, regular products use polyethylene (PE), but inferior products may use recycled polyethylene, which will produce harmful compounds during the reprocessing process, which can easily pollute water quality and affect health.
