Wax Category
Wax is a versatile organic substance composed primarily of long-chain hydrocarbons and esters, widely used in cosmetics, candles, polishes, and food coatings. Beeswax, carnauba wax, and paraffin are among the most common types, each offering unique properties such as hardness, melting point, and water resistance. Its hydrophobic nature makes wax effective as a protective barrier against moisture and contaminants in various industrial and household applications. Modern innovations also incorporate wax in pharmaceuticals and electronics for controlled release and insulation purposes.
