:Carnauba wax
Description:
Carnauba wax, with the CAS number 8015-86-9, is a natural wax derived from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree Copernicia prunifera. It is known for its high melting point, typically ranging from 80 to 86 degrees Celsius, which makes it one of the hardest natural waxes. Carnauba wax is characterized by its glossy finish, excellent water resistance, and ability to form a protective barrier, making it a popular ingredient in various applications, including cosmetics, food products, and automotive polishes. It is also biodegradable and non-toxic, which enhances its appeal in eco-friendly formulations. The wax is composed primarily of long-chain fatty acids, alcohols, and esters, contributing to its unique properties. Additionally, carnauba wax is often used as a thickening agent and emulsifier in formulations, providing stability and enhancing texture. Its versatility and natural origin make it a sought-after ingredient in both industrial and consumer products.
