Bottle sealing wax is used for just that: sealing bottles. It can be used to seal a variety of products. Some of the most popular products it is used for are listed below.

  • Wine
  • Beer
  • Whiskey
  • Syrup
  • Honey
  • Barbeque sauce
  • Perfume
  • Oils

The wax is used to provide a seal on the opening of the bottle/container. Without a secure seal, bacteria and air is able to get into the product, which in turn can end up spoiling the product.

There are a few beneficial properties to bottle sealing wax. A few are listed below.

  • It is a strong flexible coating.
  • It opens easily. Unlike other bottle sealing methods, bottle sealing wax opens cleanly and easily without crumbling or cracking.
  • It is moisture resistant. Your product container might sit in a damp cellar for storage; the bottle sealing wax keeps all excess moisture out of the product.
  • It provides a secure seal. Most bottle sealing wax adheres to natural or synthetic corks to create a tight seal.
  • Creates a unique look. Unlike other bottle sealing methods, wax creates a unique look. You can choose from a variety of different wax colors (such as metallic, pearl, or even custom colors) to personalize your wine. Check out some of the many color options here.

Below are a few benefits to using bottle sealing wax.

  • Like stated before, corks alone don’t provide a perfect seal on the bottle or container. A leaky cork can lead to spills. They also allow air and bacteria into the product, which spoils it. Bottle sealing wax also prevents the product from absorbing “damp” odors from where it is stored (for example in a damp cellar).
  • Bottle sealing wax protects the cork itself. Moisture in the air can lead to deterioration of the cork. With a wax coating over the cork, the damp air won’t be able to damage the cork.
  • Bottle sealing wax provides a professional look to the bottle or container. Like stated before, the wax comes in a variety of colors and finishes. You can even emboss your logo or image into the wax to create a personalized look.

Bottle sealing wax is functional and it even looks good. Consider using bottle sealing wax to seal your products.
