British Wax
The process of Batik painting goes back many centuries. Molten wax is poured in patterns onto a piece of cloth. Once the wax has solidified, the cloth is dipped in dye and left to dry. Finally, the wax is removed with heat. For more information on this process and on our Batik waxes, please contact us.

Beeswax is the oldest and best known wax as it is non-toxic, non-irritant, emulsifiable, and compatible with a wide range of other waxes, alcohols, glycerides and fatty acids.

We produce white, yellow and pale yellow beeswax, available as slabs, granules or in small blocks. All our beeswax complies with the BP and EP standards.
