Carnauba Wax

Carnauba wax is obtained from the leaf buds and leaves of the Brazilian Mart Wax Palm, Copernicia Cerifera. According to the classification of Carnauba Wax, it goes from the highest value prime product (Type 1 or prime yellow) to a very crude product (Type 4 or filtered). Carnauba wax is a complex mixture consisting of aliphatic esters (wax esters), α-hydroxyl esters and cinnamic aliphatic diesters, and it also contains free acids, free alcohols, hydrocarbon and resins. Because of the chemical structure of carnuarba wax, it is one of the hardest and highest-melting point natural waxes with clean structure, high crystallinity and oil binding capacity.
