Application

Carnauba wax No. 3 yellow serves multiple purposes across various industries due to its unique properties as a hard and brittle wax. Sourced from the leaf buds and leaves of the Brazilian wax palm, Copernicia cerifera, this pale yellow wax is renowned for its high melting point and durability. It's widely utilized in the cosmetics industry, particularly in lip balms, due to its superior textural properties. In the food sector, it's used as a candy glaze, offering a polished finish. In pharmaceuticals, carnauba wax is employed in aqueous emulsions to polish sugar-coated tablets, enhancing their appearance without the need for rubbing. It also plays a critical role in sustained-release solid-dosage formulations, where it is combined with other excipients to control drug release. Beyond these conventional uses, carnauba wax has been explored for innovative applications such as hot air coating processes for producing microparticles, gel beads for intragastric drug delivery, and nanoparticulate formulations in sunscreens, showcasing its versatility and potential in product development.
