It is necessary to distinguish between cold drink cups and hot drink paper cups, because they have their own functions, and once they are misplaced, they will threaten the health of consumers. The surface of the cold drink paper cup should be sprayed with wax or dipped in wax. Because cold drinks will accumulate water on the surface of the paper cup, it will make the paper cup soft, and it can be waterproof after being coated with wax. This kind of wax is very stable and safe at 0 ~ 5℃. However, if it is used to hold hot drinks, as long as the temperature of the drinks exceeds 62℃, the wax will melt and the paper cups will absorb water and deform. Melted wax contains high impurities, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which may cause cancer and endanger people's health when they enter the human body with drinks. The surface of the hot drink paper cup will be affixed with a special polyethylene film recognized by the state, which is not only good in heat resistance, but also harmless when soaked in high-temperature drinks. Paper cups should be stored in a ventilated, cool, dry and pollution-free space, and the storage period should generally not exceed two years from the date of production.

The difference between hot and cold drinking paper cups is as above. Everyone should pay attention to the fact that hot and cold drinking paper cups can't be filled with the wrong drinks.
