Carnauba Wax – Type 3

Description

6003 Carnauba Wax Type 3 is the most commonly used carnauba wax, suitable for wide range of uses, including cosmetics, polishes, mould releases, protective coatings and lubricants.

Carnauba Wax is obtained from the leaves of the ‘Copernica Cerifera’ palm tree. Colour and quality of this product are determined by the age of the leaves and the process of extraction.
Prime Yellow  (Type 1) is the first to be harvested followed by Type 4, harvested later in the season.  Type 3 is produced by bleaching Type 4 carnauba wax.

The Carnauba palm is indigenous to northern Brazil and can be found along riverbanks and streams. The tree expels wax through pores in the leaves; this maintains hydration in an equatorial climate.

Carnauba Wax is considered the hardest of natural waxes and produces a highly durable film.

We also supply Type 1, Type 4, and Type 1 Organic Carnauba Wax in flake format as well as Type 1 and Type 3 powder.
