Rice Bran Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : France
What Is Rice Bran Wax?
Rice bran is the outer layer of the rice kernel and is a nutrient-rich by-product of rice milling. The wax in rice bran is extracted using solvent extraction. This process separates the oil from the bran, followed by refining to remove impurities and isolate the wax. The result is a high-purity, high-quality wax ideal for various industrial uses.
