Soy Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : Spain
What is Soy Wax?
Soy wax is a high-quality, vegetable-based wax made from soybean oil. The process starts with extracting the oil from the soybeans. This involves cleaning and drying the beans, then cracking and de-hulling them for efficient extraction. After extraction, the oil is filtered to remove impurities and undergoes hydrogenation. This chemical process turns unsaturated fatty acids in the oil into saturated ones, making the oil solid at room temperature. This multi-step process creates refined soy wax known for its smooth texture, stable melting point, and purity, making it suitable for various high-performance applications across industries.
