Sunflower Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : Turkey
What is Sunflower Wax?
Sunflower wax is a natural wax made from sunflower seeds. The extraction process starts with separating the oil from the pressed seeds. This oil is refined and winterized, resulting in a solid fraction rich in saturated long-chain esters. The raw wax then goes through purification and finishing processes, which produce a hard, crystalline vegetable wax that has a high melting point and excellent oil-binding capacity. The thorough refinement gives it premium hardness, a clean texture, and top performance for various industrial and cosmetic uses.
