Sunflower Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : Singapore
What is Sunflower Wax?
Sunflower wax is a natural wax made from sunflower oil during the refining process. Production starts with extracting sunflower oil from seeds using solvents. Next, refining removes impurities and helps clarify the oil. During this time, a solid wax forms and separates from the oil. This wax is filtered, purified, and refined further to create a consistent melting point, uniform color, and smooth structure. The resulting refined sunflower wax is durable, hard, and glossy, making it a reliable plant-based wax for various uses in cosmetics, industry, and coatings. With its strong chemical stability, sunflower wax performs well in many manufacturing processes.
