Depending on the thickness of wax applied, length of neck and dripping, 1kg of our wax can cover up to 100 bottles. Our wax comes in block format and can be applied by hand or machine. Flexible bottle sealing wax can be used in conjunction with a ribbon, cord or metal strip for easy opening. We also manufacture a harder brittle sealing wax which can be melted directly onto the neck of the bottle.

Recommended use:
It is recommended that minimal stirring is carried out during the melting process. Excessive stirring can cause air bubbles to be trapped.
The working temperature is approximately 80°C. Avoid overheating the wax, if there is any sign of smoke coming off, then it is too hot.
To obtain a thicker coating, maintain the molten wax at a lower temperature. To obtain a thinner coating, maintain the molten wax at a higher temperature.
Different effects can be obtained depending on how the wax is treated.

• To obtain a more rounded top, ensure the bottle is rotated as when removing the top of the bottle from the molten wax until it has solidified.
• To obtain a flatter top with more defined angles, do not rotate the bottle, but allow excess wax to drip down from one place only, such as a tear strip.
• For a matt finish, allow the wax to air cool.
• To obtain a glossier finish, immediately plunge the wax into cold water and keep it in the water until all of the wax is cool.

Our wax can be heated 3 or 4 times up to 80°C without any significant effects on the performance of the wax.

Carnauba Wax is obtained from the leaves of the ‘Tree of Life’  Copernica Cerifera which is indigenous to Northern Brazil.  The colour and quality of this product is determined by the age of the leaves and the process of extraction.   Type 1 is the lightest and purest of the grades of carnauba wax, having been extracted from the youngest leaves.

Carnauba Wax is the hardest of natural waxes and due to its gloss, hardness and broad compatibility with oils and other waxes, the wax is used as a release agent and coating material in the food industry, particularly in confectionery, chocolate, fruits, chewing gum, nuts, nutritional supplements, coffee beans, and baked goods. Other application areas of carnauba wax include paints, printing inks, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, leather and shoe care, and wood care.
