Sunflower Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : Indonesia
What is Sunflower Wax?
Sunflower wax is a natural plant-based wax derived from sunflower seed oil, which is a renewable and widely grown crop. The extraction starts with a solvent process that separates oil from crushed sunflower seeds. After extraction, the oil is refined, bleached, and deodorized to purify it for industrial use. During this refining, a solid wax fraction forms naturally. This wax is filtered and refined through controlled heating and cooling, resulting in a smooth, high-melting, and uniform structure. The final product is refined sunflower wax, known for its hardness, texture, and consistent performance. Its clarity, stability, and natural origin make it a highly sought-after eco-friendly wax used across many industries today.
