Why choose T-1 carnauba wax?

When purchasing carnauba wax T-1, it is important to consider its intended use. Compared to paraffins and other natural waxes, Carnauba Wax T-1 has several distinguishing characteristics:

• Carnauba T-1 wax is considerably harder than most paraffins, which makes it more resistant to scratching and provides a more durable finish.
• It has a generally higher melting point than other natural or synthetic waxes. This means that it can withstand higher temperatures without melting, a feature highly desirable in automotive applications.
• It is one of the glossiest natural waxes available on the market. Carnauba wax shine is deep, intense and highly reflective. For this reason it is valued in cosmetics as well as in shoe and automotive polishes.

It is also an excellent substitute for beeswax in vegan products.

Its main difference to T-3 carnauba wax, lies in its color. T1 is lighter and yellower in color, while T-3 has a more orange or brownish tone.
