Sunflower Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : United States
What is Sunflower Wax?
Sunflower wax is a natural, plant-based wax made from sunflower oil through several careful processes. The process begins with solvent extraction, where sunflower seeds are processed to produce crude oil. This oil undergoes refining techniques to eliminate unwanted impurities, ensuring it meets high standards. After refining, a crucial step separates the waxes from the oil, resulting in wax that is pure and consistent. Additional refining and filtration create a sunflower wax with the right melting point, hardness, and color. The final product has a light color, neutral fragrance, and smooth texture, making it suitable for various demanding applications across industries. This commitment to quality makes the wax top-notch for all professional and industrial uses.
