Rice Bran Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : China
What Is Rice Bran Wax?
Rice bran is the outer layer of the rice grain, which is separated during the milling process. It contains oil that can be extracted using solvents. Non-polar solvents dissolve the oil and wax components. After extraction, the oil is refined to remove impurities, while the wax fraction undergoes dehydration, filtration, crystallization, and deodorization to produce high-purity wax. This refined rice bran wax has excellent physical and chemical properties, making it a top choice for various industrial applications.
Rice Bran Wax:
The New Gold Standard
Rice bran wax is considered the new gold standard among waxes due to its impressive qualities such as a high melting point, firmness, and great moisture retention. Industries in China favor rice bran wax for its sustainable sourcing, versatility, and effectiveness in multiple applications. Its environmentally friendly nature and multifunctional benefits have made it highly desired in different manufacturing sectors across China.
