Bee wax
The bee wax have very stable property, its chemical characteristic keeps unchanged
even long time placement, it is resistant to hydrolysis and nature oxidization and is completely insoluble in water, less digestive acids or juices can dissolve of it except larvae of wax moth. Being a nature lipid that contains in various of hydrocarbons, acids or hydroxyl-acids, alcohols and pigment which comes from pollen and propolis, its stable property is very welcome, also because its excellent compatibility with almost all natural waxes, fat and oil, and its good meltability, that allow it was widely used in many industries as below:
1) Cosmetic: applied to cream, vanishing cream, lipstick, hair-care products,
eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, rough lotion making etc. due to its excellent
adhesiveness, permeability, emulsification state and smoothness
2) Food: used as the roasted oil and mould releasing agents in the food
processing due to its superior flexibility, stable dispersibility ability of
forming thin film, water proofing, damp proofing and oxidation resistance
3) Medicine: widely used as the coating of Chinese medicine and the base of
lotions and ointment due to its fine ability of water proofing, damp proofing,
emulsification state and smoothness
4) Others: applied to the industry of electric power, printing, oil, paper,
crayons, soap, candle making, softening and polishing leather, protecting
exposed iron and steel, waterproofing canvas and other fabrics
Palm wax
The palm wax has good performance in emulsification, adhesiveness, attrition, dishaping, smoothening, and adjusting of viscidity and rigidity. It is one natural
wax that mostly used in the world.
It was well recognized after second half of 18th century, and was used being floor
wax only at beginning, and then was applied in carbon paper, printing ribbon and
surface polishing. Today, being functional material, it plays an important role was applying in information record, electronic component and various advanced technique fields.
