Material

                                        
Cold drink paper cups are mainly waxed paper cups, that is, the inner wall of the paper cup is coated with a layer of wax, which is used to isolate the inside of the paper cup from direct contact with food or drinking water and paper containers, and is now generally used as cold drink paper cups.

                                         
PE hot drink paper cups are covered with a layer of film (PE) on the inside of the cup, which is very smooth and can play a role in waterproofing and oil-proofing.PE is polyethylene, which is the safest chemical in food processing, and it is also commonly referred to as plastic.
 

Melting and Boiling Points

 
                                                            
Edible waxes do have a lower melting point and are more stable between 0 - 5 degrees Celsius. The melting point of PE paper cups is between 120 - 140 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, so they do not dissolve in water and are safer to use.
