New commodity: WAX
Introduction
• The word "wax" usually refers to a variety of organic substances that are solid at ambient temperature but become free-flowing liquids at slightly higher temperatures.
• Characteristically, they melt above 45°C .
• Wax is insoluble in water
Types of wax
Animal wax:• White and yellow beeswax has been
known for over 2000 years, especially through its use in the fine arts. References to wax prior to the nineteenth century are probably to beeswax. Beeswax is secreted by bees and is used to construct the combs in which bees store their honey. Removing the honey and melting the comb in boiling water harvest the wax.
Plant wax
• The source of plant wax is the palm tree, whose wax-producing stands grow almost exclusively in the northeast section of Brazil. Plant wax forms on the fronds of the palm, and is removed by cutting the fronds, drying, and mechanically removing the wax. Impurities are removed from the wax by melting and filtering.
Petroleum wax
• Petroleum wax is also commonly known as Paraffin wax.
• It is byproduct of crude oil.• Millions of tons of paraffin waxes are
produced annually. They are used in foods (such as chewing gum and cheese wrapping), in candles and cosmetics, as non-stick and waterproofing coatings and in polishes.
