Sunflower Wax Manufacturers & Suppliers : Vietnam
What is Sunflower Wax?
Sunflower wax is a natural wax made from sunflower seeds, created during the refining of sunflower oil. The extraction starts with using solvents, which dissolve oil and wax from the seeds. The raw sunflower oil is then processed to remove impurities. After purification, the wax undergoes additional refining through crystallization, filtration, and deodorization. The final product is high purity sunflower wax, known for its hardness, smooth texture, and excellent melting point. It is suitable for various industrial and cosmetic uses.
