Properties
- Exceptional hardness: Carnauba wax is considered the hardest natural plant wax, providing a stable, durable surface.
- High melting point (82–86 °C): This ensures the wax remains shape-stable even at high temperatures and is suitable for applications with thermal stresses.
- Gloss enhancement: It produces an intense, long-lasting shine, especially valued in surface polishes and coatings.
- Film-forming, protective effect: Forms a water-repellent, protective film that shields materials such as wood, metal, paints or stone from environmental influences.
- Chemical stability: Insoluble in water and resistant to many chemicals.
- Versatile applicability: Used as a functional ingredient to improve scratch resistance, friction resistance and surface hardness.
- Natural product, 100% pure, free from solvents and additives.
Applications
- Automotive industry: Main component of car waxes and polishes for scratch-resistant, protective and glossy paint protection
- Furniture and wood industry: Care and protection of wood, floors, musical instruments, and much more
- Construction industry: Surface treatment of wood, stone, concrete and roofing materials as an ecological alternative to synthetic coatings
- Paints and coatings: Micronised carnauba wax to increase scratch resistance and reduce friction in coatings
- Niche applications: Shoe care, candle coatings, printing inks, didgeridoo mouthpieces, carbon paper and other technical special applications
Sustainability and Environment
Carnauba Wax T4 is a renewable, natural raw material. The harvest is carried out sustainably and carefully by selecting only certain leaves without damaging the palm – ensuring the resource’s long-term preservation. It is biodegradable, free from chemical additives, and considered safe for health.
Is Carnauba Wax Palm Oil?
No, Carnauba wax is not palm oil. Carnauba wax is obtained from the leaves of the Carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera), which is native to Brazil. Palm oil, on the other hand, is extracted from the fruit of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Palm oil and palm kernel oil are oils with completely different chemical properties compared to Carnauba wax, which is a solid wax. Therefore, these are two entirely distinct substances, even though both come from palms.
Notes
Due to its natural origin, properties such as colour may vary slightly. Carnauba wax should be stored dry, cool and protected from light.
