Rice Bran Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers :Indonesia
What Is Rice Bran Wax?
Rice bran is the nutrient-rich outer layer of rice grains that comes from milling. It is a significant source of important industrial components, especially rice bran oil and rice bran wax. The process starts with extracting oil from the bran using solvents, which is then refined to remove impurities and colors. During refining, a natural wax fraction separates from the oil. This wax is further filtered and purified to achieve a high level of consistency and clarity. The refined rice bran wax is known for its high melting stability, smooth texture, and pale color. It is widely recognized for its hardness, gloss, and non-tacky finish, making it one of the most reliable natural waxes used in various industrial, cosmetic, and food applications.
Rice Bran Wax:
The New Gold Standard
Rice bran wax is becoming a key natural alternative to mineral and synthetic waxes in Indonesian industries. It is known for its strong ability to form films, its durability, and its eco-friendly production cycle. It provides high performance while ensuring sustainability. Manufacturers in Indonesia increasingly choose rice bran wax for its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to improve product finish. Its biodegradability and low allergenic properties also fit with the country’s shift towards renewable industrial materials. From cosmetics makers to food coating producers, Indonesian companies appreciate rice bran wax for its consistent performance in tropical conditions and stable features under different storage environments.
Capacity Snapshot
Mount Wilder’s wax refineries have a total production capacity of 90 tonnes of refined rice bran wax each month. Every batch goes through quality testing to ensure purity, consistent melting points, and high hardness, meeting industrial standards in Indonesia.
Our group companies run two solvent extraction plants, each with a capacity exceeding 500 tonnes per day. These large facilities provide a steady flow of raw materials and maintain uninterrupted production, ensuring a constant supply for Indonesia’s expanding industries.
A dedicated oil refinery with a capacity of 105 tonnes per day supplies the wax-refining units. This integration of oil and wax production boosts efficiency, reduces waste, and maintains quality stability, benefiting both industrial processors and commercial users in Indonesia.
