A process for manufacturing robust, flexible sheet-like material, comprising the steps: a) applying a waxy composition to the web to form a waxed web by contacting the web with a liquid having a temperature of greater than 35°C to 100°C comprising: i) 10-60 wt-% of a waxy compound selected from the group consisting of: A) monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said monoester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; B) diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said diester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; and C) mixtures of said monoesters and diesters; and ii) 90-40 wt-% of a diluent; wherein the coating forms a stable liquid mixture at a temperature between 35°C and 100°C, has a liquefaction temperature of at least 30°C, and has a contact angle with a flat surface of the substrate of less than 35° when measured at a temperature of 60 °C; b) leading the waxed web via at least one roller to a chiller having a cooling source having a temperature of less than -120°C; c) cooling the waxed web; and d) leading the waxed web to a collection station for collecting the waxed web for further processing. a) applying a waxy composition to the web to form a waxed web by contacting the web with a liquid having a temperature of greater than 35°C to 100°C comprising: i) 10-60 wt-% of a waxy compound selected from the group consisting of: A) monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said monoester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; B) diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said diester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; and C) mixtures of said monoesters and diesters; and ii) 90-40 wt-% of a diluent; wherein the coating forms a stable liquid mixture at a temperature between 35°C and 100°C, has a liquefaction temperature of at least 30°C, and has a contact angle with a flat surface of the substrate of less than 35° when measured at a temperature of 60 °C; i) 10-60 wt-% of a waxy compound selected from the group consisting of: A) monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said monoester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; B) diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said diester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; and C) mixtures of said monoesters and diesters; and A) monoesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said monoester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; B) diesters of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol and a fatty acid containing from eight to eighteen carbon atoms and wherein said diester has at least one hydroxyl group associated with its aliphatic alcohol residue; and C) mixtures of said monoesters and diesters; and ii) 90-40 wt-% of a diluent; b) leading the waxed web via at least one roller to a chiller having a cooling source having a temperature of less than -120°C; c) cooling the waxed web; and d) leading the waxed web to a collection station for collecting the waxed web for further processing.
