Rice Bran Wax is a hard natural vegetable wax refined from rice bran. With proper melting point and excellent lubricating property, this renewable wax works as processing lubricant during plastic compounding. Meanwhile, it delivers favorable polishing effect for surface finishing. It is a sustainable functional raw material widely adopted in various industrial wax‑based formulations.
Product Overview Rice Bran Wax (CAS 8016‑60‑2) is a renewable natural vegetable wax obtained from rice‑bran oil fraction. It features a relatively hard crystalline structure and moderate melting range. When applied in plastic processing, it provides internal and external lubrication during extrusion and injection molding, reducing melt viscosity and lowering equipment torque. For polishing‑oriented industrial formulations, it contributes to smooth, glossy surface finish. This eco‑friendly natural wax is an ideal alternative for certain synthetic wax grades in many industrial recipes.
Key Features ‑ Renewable natural vegetable wax derived from rice bran resources ‑ Balanced internal and external lubrication performance for plastic processing ‑ Delivers good polishing effect to improve surface gloss of finished articles ‑ Compatible with many synthetic waxes, hydrocarbon waxes and resin systems ‑ Low volatility under regular industrial processing temperatures
Typical Technical Properties ‑ Chemical Name: Rice Bran Wax ‑ CAS No.: 8016‑60‑2 ‑ Appearance: Pale yellow flakes or granules ‑ Melting Point: Refer to TDS ‑ Acid Value: Refer to TDS ‑ Saponification Value: Refer to TDS
Applications ‑ Plastic processing: Lubricant for extrusion, injection molding and masterbatch production ‑ Industrial polishing: Raw material for polishing pastes and surface finishing compounds ‑ Wax blending: Modifying ingredient for composite industrial wax formulations ‑ Coating system: Functional additive for special surface‑treatment coatings
Processing Recommendation Melt rice bran wax together with other waxes or resin components at required processing temperature for hot compounding. For blended wax formulations, homogeneous melting and stirring is essential. Recommended dosage varies from 0.5‑7.0 wt% depending on target lubrication or polishing performance. Preliminary laboratory trials are strongly suggested prior to mass‑scale production.
Storage & Handling Store in cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse. Avoid direct sunlight and overheating. Reseal the packaging once opened to prevent dust contamination. Wear suitable gloves during handling of flake or granular wax materials.
