By "wax" we mean a combination of waxes and/or polymers, whose characteristics include the HLB value mentioned above, and which contain radical inhibitors, i.e. agents which improve resistance to UV rays and ozone. They can also be other agents than the branched microwax mentioned above. Further, the joint HLB value of the polymer layer and the pigment and fungicide contained in it must be suitable, as described above, in order to allow the wax layer, which is applied later, to penetrate the surface as desired. The polymer layer and its additives can favourably be applied using known methods such as gravure coating, offset gravure coating, rod coating, airbrush coating, treating with a surface-size press, curtain coating, or controlled lick coating, feeding polymer emulsion onto the cardboard's surface from below.
