Consumer preferences for products of natural origin made with environmentally friendly materials has put natural waxes in the spotlight in candle manufacturing.
Among vegetable waxes, soy wax has a special place. Its unique characteristics and its vegan nature make it a firm favorite among large- and small-scale producers.
Soy wax production and characteristics
Soy wax is obtained through the hydrogenation of soybean oil, a process which involves the addition of hydrogen under controlled conditions. This process converts the liquid oil into a solid wax at room temperature.
Soy wax is silky in texture, stable, balanced and odorless.
Soy wax uses and applications
Soy wax has diverse applications and uses thanks to its sustainable characteristics and versatility:
Candle making
This is one of its most common uses. In this industry, it is mixed with fragrances and dyes to create striking, eco-friendly, toxin-free candles that burn cleanly and slowly.
Industrial uses
Soy wax is also used in the manufacture of leather care products, such as conditioners and creams, as it provides a protective coating and nourishes the material.
Another interesting use is in the manufacture of products for polishing wood, such as furniture and floors, to which it adds shine and protection.
Last but not least, soy wax is also a common ingredient in the production of crayons and colored pencils, as it contributes to their smooth and resistant texture.
