Note: Low melting mixtures of long chain hydrocarbon compounds found in or on plants. Vegetable waxes contain fatty acids or alcohols along with the hydrocarbon series. Vegetable wax properties range widely from the soft, white Japan wax to the hard, yellow of carnauba wax to the brownish black bitumen wax. They are used for cosmetics, leather dressing, and other purposes. |
