Carnauba wax T-3 is a type of carnauba wax, derived from the leaves of the Brazilian Copernicia prunifera palm, like Carnauba wax T-1.
It comes in flake format for easy use, as it has a high melting point (between 82 and 86 °C). It is a hard, brittle wax that resists scratches and wear and tear. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether.
Thanks to its water resistance, high gloss and high thermal stability, this type of wax has multiple industrial applications.
It is used to give high sheen and protection to automotive paintwork. Its protective layer helps to repel water and protect the paint from UV rays and contaminants.
Protects floors from scratches and wear, especially wood floors. Among our products we have two types of carnauba wax emulsions adapted to these applications: Emul CC 40 and Emul CC 40 anti-slip.
It is applied on wood to create a layer that shines and protects against daily wear and tear.
Helps waterproof leather and provides a glossy, durable finish.
It is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent to achieve a smooth, creamy texture in lipsticks, creams and lotions.
It is applied as a protective coating on fresh fruits and vegetables, candies and confectionery products. Adds sheen and prevents moisture loss in food.
