Industrial Wax and oils

The most commonly known animal wax is Bees Wax, but other insects secrete waxes. A major component of the beeswax used in constructing honeycombs is the ester myricyl palmitate which is an ester of triacontanol and palmitic acid. Its melting point is 62-65 °C. Spermaceti occurs in large amounts in the head oil of the. One of its main constituents iscetyl palmitate, another ester of a fatty acid and a fatty alcohol. Lanolin is a wax obtained from wool, consisting of esters ofsterols. Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the bee hive of honey bees of the genusApis. The wax is formed by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments 4 through 7 of worker bees. The workers collect it and use it for structural material in the hive. Chemically, beeswax consists of mainly esters of fatty acids and various long-chain alcohols.

Palm Wax is an environmentally friendly product as it comes from a sustainable and renewable source and it burns cleanly. Palm cultivation is perhaps, the world's most environmentally friendly commercial crop. We choose to buy our palm wax from Malaysia because its government has put a moratorium on forest clearing for the establishment of oil palm plantations.

Only areas already used for agriculture will be allowed to convert to palm oil production. The oil palm has been grown as a commercial crop in well managed and regulated estates in Malaysia since 1917. The palm produces fruits in bunches which are harvested and sent to palm oil mills to undergo sterilization, bunch stripping, oil extraction, oil clarification and purification. This crude palm oil then becomes the raw material for palm oil refineries where it is further processed by neutralization, bleaching and deodorization.

The Refined palm oil then undergoes fractionation by which palm olein and palm stearin are produced and these in turn are further fractionated to obtain specialized products. These range from cooking/frying oil, shortening/cooking fats, creamers, waxes and many others.

About 25% of the palm oil available is used for non-edible products which include agricultural emulsifiers, stabilizers in paper and PVC manufacturing, a whole range of soaps, detergents, toiletries and candle making wax. Palm waxes are made from a 100% Natural Palm Oil Based raw materials. The various blends of palm waxes are formulated from the many fractions of palm oil and the many fractions of the palm oil based oleo-chemicals. Some fractions are soft and some are hard. The selections of the various fractions of palm oil and oleo-chemicals are made based on the many requirements of making Natural Candles.

Natural Palm Wax Candles are the first choice for a number of reasons:

• The Palm Waxes / Palm Wax Candles are Environmentally Friendly.
• Wide application in Aromatherapy, be it in Scented Candles or as a heat source for vaporizing essential oils.
• General food warming applications in restaurants and hotels.
• Palm Waxes are specially formulated to make candles of specific designs and applications, examples are pillars, tapers, Container candles, T - lights, etc.
