For the dairy industry Sonneborn offers a large variety of cheese waxes. Our cheese waxes give cheeses an appealing appearance, prevent weight loss and are used to regulate the ripening. It is a very reliable protection against mold and consequently it will extend the shelf-life of the cheese. Cheese waxes are available in a wide variety of colors as well as in uncolored versions and can be tailor-made for all kind of waxing machinery.

For the baking industry, Sonneborn offers three types of products:  Divider oils are USP/NF white mineral oils of varying viscosities that offer lubrication and ease of handling of the dough; Trough Greases, which are USP petrolatums that coat dough troughs to prevent the dough from sticking to the sides after it comes from the mixer; and Pan Oils, which are usually blends of vegetable and mineral oils.  The mineral oil component provides greater viscosity than the vegetable oil, for better cling to the sides of the pan.  It also has greater oxidation stability, and will reduce the amount of glazing that can occur in the pan.
