Vegetable-Based Waxes

Please provide us with more information, Inraj. If I understand your post correctly (and I'm not sure that I do), your company can supply high-melting point waxes that are vegetable based. What is your current marketing strategy like? What markets (both in terms of industry and geography) do you want to target?

Hello Moose,

We produce Sunflower Wax & Rice Bran Wax, which are of vegetable wax group. Both are by products of edible oil refining.

I am currently exploring coatings industries and also adhesives, inks, paints, etc where the wax can find an application. We are open to serve the world and to be more specific US & Europe.

The printing industry typically uses varnish to coat inks and their printing. The only use I know of about wax and printing (etc.) is in some types of rub-on lettering. Where the wax is coated over letters and symbols so that when rubbed against paper (for example), the wax transfers the lettering onto a surface.

Don't know if this is of any help.

Regards

By the way, what are the UV characteristics of these waxes? How do they hold up against environmental factors?

Hello Vermin,

Thanks for your reply.

We are only into producing the waxes and do not formualte to any particular industry as yet. We have few clients, who have fomulated for cosmetics in Europe & US. We need clients, who can cater to the coating industries too.

But have you tested your waxes for their particular characteristics?

Yes, it has been tried and tested and now it is in production stage with various firms.

So, like, what are the characteristics???

We make wax emulsions of various types for water resistance in non-wovens, paper , ink, paint and other applications. Some have requirements for safety in food contact applications. I would be interested in learning more, such as melting point, composition, etc.

Hello,

We produce Sunflower Wax & Rice Bran Wax, which has melting point in the range of 76-79 Degrees, acid value between 0.5-1.5, iodine value 5-12, oil content NIL.

We do not have any FDA certification for food contacts, but are by products of edible oil refining stage.

Hello Inraj,

If your wax is edible then the food wrapping industry, in the form of bags, covers, beer mats, coffee cups and boxes for cakes and other foods, should be your focus.

Keep in touch.
