White Beeswax Pellets

Description: White Beeswax Pellets

Competitiveness

The properties of beeswax make it a widely used material in different industrial branches. However, its high cost makes it an uncompetitive input in some applications. The addition of quality paraffin to beeswax results in a product with excellent technical properties that is cheaper and more competitive than natural wax.

Our white beeswax pellets are ideal for technical and cosmetic uses. They are made of low added paraffin wax manufactured in China and offer great results at affordable prices. Thanks to their white color, they are suitable for manufacturing where it is necessary not to alter the color of the final product.

Blocks or pellets

Beeswax is a very hard material, whose melting point varies between 62 and 65 °C (62 and 65 ºC). The traditional presentation of beeswax is in blocks. However, these blocks can be difficult to handle, depending on the melting method used. This is why nowadays it also comes in pellet format, which is extremely useful when it comes to accelerating and facilitating the melting process. These wax pearls are recommended for homemade cosmetics, candle making and hair removal.

We also supply white beeswax pellets with European Pharmacopoeia certification, suitable for pharmaceutical and food uses.

White color

Beeswax is produced in the wax glands of the Apis mellifera bee. When freshly excreted, the wax is white in colour; later, when mixed with pollen, it becomes yellow.

Depending on the intended use of the wax, this yellow tone can be undesirable, so whitening methods have been developed to give the natural wax a whitish tone. The traditional method involves exposing the wax to the sun, while the modern method is chemical bleaching. Either method results in a white wax that does not affect the colour of the final product.
