Carnauba Wax – Type 4

Product code: 6004

Unit Weight in kg: 1

Description

6004 Carnauba Wax Type 4 is darker in colour, suitable for mould releases, casting, polishes, coatings and other industrial applications.

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.

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.
