Carnauba Wax is a hard natural vegetable wax harvested from palm fronds. Featuring high melting point, excellent surface gloss and outstanding hardness performance, this natural wax serves as a premium glazing and hardening additive. It is suitable for industrial polish systems, protective coatings and printing ink formulations to enhance surface brightness, anti‑mar property and mechanical strength of dried films.
Product Overview Carnauba Wax (CAS 8015‑86‑9) is a high‑hardness natural vegetable wax derived from Brazilian carnauba palm leaves. It exhibits a relatively high melting range and provides brilliant gloss after film formation. When incorporated into polish, coating or ink systems, the wax migrates toward the surface during drying and curing. It forms a firm, glossy wax layer which effectively boosts surface hardness, scratch resistance and water‑repellent performance of the final coating or ink layer. This natural wax is a popular functional raw material for high‑grade industrial formulation.
Key Features ‑ Natural vegetable‑based hard wax with high melting temperature ‑ Delivers excellent surface gloss and remarkable hardening effect ‑ Improves scratch resistance and water repellency of dried film ‑ Good compatibility with many natural and synthetic binder resins ‑ Perfect raw material for high‑grade polish, coating and ink formulations
Typical Technical Properties ‑ Chemical Name: Carnauba Wax ‑ CAS No.: 8015‑86‑9 ‑ Appearance: Yellowish‑brown flakes / fine powder ‑ Melting Point: Refer to TDS ‑ Acid Value: Refer to TDS ‑ Saponification Value: Refer to TDS
Applications ‑ Industrial polish: Floor polish, leather polish and furniture polishing formulations ‑ Protective coating: Improve surface gloss and hardness for solvent‑based and water‑based topcoat ‑ Printing ink: Enhance surface glazing property for packaging printing inks ‑ Specialty formulation: High‑grade wax compound and slip agent system
Processing Recommendation For solvent‑based systems, melt carnauba wax at elevated temperature before mixing with other components. For aqueous formulations, it is recommended to prepare wax emulsion in advance. Typical addition dosage varies from 1‑8 wt% according to target gloss and hardness requirement. Small‑scale laboratory testing is necessary prior to mass production.
Storage & Handling Store in cool, dry and well‑ventilated warehouse. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Reseal packaging after opening to avoid dust contamination. Wear suitable protective gloves and dust mask when handling wax powder or flakes.
