GREEN WAXES
Highly selected GREEN WAXES are used to ensure optimal storage conditions for the seedlings. A specially selected mixture of ingredients preserves, protects against fungi, bacteria and stimulates the growth of seedlings.
GREEN WAXES provided by N-Wax is a mixture of deeply refined micro waxes, polymers, and natural products. It is characterized by high elasticity and adhesion. The base components used are approved for contact with food products.
