Rice Bran Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : Vietnam
What Is Rice Bran Wax?
Rice bran is the nutrient-rich outer layer of the rice grain that gets separated during milling. It contains valuable oils and waxes, which are extracted using solvents that dissolve these components. After extraction, the crude oil is refined to remove impurities, and the wax fraction is isolated and further refined through filtration, crystallization, and deodorization. The end product is a high-purity rice bran wax that has excellent physical and chemical properties, making it suitable for various industrial and consumer uses.
Rice Bran Wax:
The New Gold Standard
Rice bran wax is quickly becoming the new standard among waxes because of its unique firmness, high melting point, excellent moisture retention, and natural antioxidants. Industries in Vietnam prefer rice bran wax for its sustainable sourcing, versatile functionality, and its ability to improve the quality of various products. Companies in Vietnam like it because it supports eco-friendly branding while providing reliable performance in cosmetics, food coatings, and industrial applications.
