The nature and use
of palm wax
1. Introduction

palm wax is an important chemical production raw material, widely used in many fields. In this paper, the properties and uses of palm wax are discussed in detail in order to have a deeper understanding of it.

2. the properties of palm wax

palm wax is a natural plant wax, mainly composed of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, its chemical properties are stable, with good antioxidant properties. The melting point of palm wax is higher, generally between 80-84 degrees Celsius, and its density is higher, about 0.96-0.98g/cm3. Carnauba wax also has good ductility and plasticity, as well as excellent electrical insulation properties.

3. The use of palm wax

1. Cosmetics: As an excellent moisturizer and film forming agent, palm wax is widely used in cosmetics, such as lipstick, lipstick, eye shadow, etc. It can effectively lock in moisture, protect the skin, and give the product a good texture and durability.
2. Food field: Carnauba wax has good antioxidant properties and can be used in food packaging to prevent food oxidation and deterioration. At the same time, it can also be used to make food additives to improve the taste and appearance of food.
3. pharmaceutical field: palm wax can be used as a coating material of drugs in the pharmaceutical field to protect drug ingredients, control the release rate of drugs and improve the efficacy of drugs.
4. industrial field: palm wax has good electrical insulation properties and waterproof, can be used for wire and cable, electrical components of insulation materials, and the manufacture of waterproof materials.

4. conclusion

palm wax as an important chemical raw material, has a wide range of uses. Its stable chemical properties, good oxidation resistance, high melting point, excellent ductility and plasticity, and good electrical insulation properties make palm wax widely used in cosmetics, food, medicine and industry. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application field of palm wax will continue to expand.
