Brief Overview
Palm wax is a chemical derivative based on hydrogenated palm stearin and has frequently been used as a sustainable source of candle making due to it’s environmentally friendly manufacturing process. The material has a waxy texture and is biodegradable when disposed of.
Manufacturing Process
Initially, palm oil is used as a raw material to fabricate palm wax. Through a series of refining, bleaching, and deodorization, the palm oil is refined into RBD palm oil. RBD palm oil is further processed via fractionation to produce RBD palm olein and RBD palm stearin. The palm stearin constituent is specialized to produce palm wax from further fractionation and hydrogenation.
