rice wax
Characteristics of rice wax
- This plant-based wax is a specialty product of Japan, and we can provide a stable and high-quality supply at any time without relying on imports.
- It has a high proportion of wax ester and has high crystallinity.
- It has a high melting point of approximately 80℃, and has the property of melting sharply and solidifying easily when exposed to heat.
- It is compatible with animal and vegetable oils, mineral oils, glycerides, hydrocarbons, etc.
- Using our unique refining method, this product is decolorized while taking advantage of the advantages of rice wax, and impurities are completely removed. We have also developed a new product that eliminates the inherent odor of rice wax.
Fields of use of rice wax
Cosmetics
It is used as a base for point makeup such as lipstick and mascara, and as a base for base creams and sunscreens.
food
It is widely used in coatings for chocolates, candies, gummies, tablets, emulsions for coating fruits, etc., plasticizers for chewing gum bases, and food release agents.
polishing agent
It is used in floor wax, shoe cream, car wax, etc.
cutting edge field
Due to its high crystallinity, it is used in information recording materials such as toner and as a lubricant for plastics. It is also used as an alternative raw material for petroleum wax, which functions as a glossing agent for rubber and plastic products for tires, construction, home appliances, etc.
What is rice wax?
It is a life wax obtained in the process of refining rice bran oil extracted from rice bran. The raw material, rice bran, has been traditionally used to take advantage of its waxy content and to care for the skin and polish furniture and furnishings. In the past, rice bran after oil extraction was used as fuel for boilers, but through the joint development of active ingredients by our company and engineers from rice oil manufacturers, rice wax was created as a new Japanese wax. Ta. It was in 1965 that it began to be industrially isolated and purified, and its use as a safe natural material expanded to new fields such as food-related and chemical industries.
