Soybean wax; soy wax; vegetable wax

CAS 8016-70-4

Chemical Formula Does not have a chemical formula, but rather is a complex mixture.

Molecular Weight 860-890 g/mol

Soya wax is a natural wax derived from soybeans, commonly used for making candles. It's a renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly alternative to paraffin wax. Soy wax burns cleanly, evenly, and with minimal soot, and often has a longer burn time and stronger scent throw compared to other waxes, according to candle making suppliers. Soy wax is available in various forms like flakes, pellets, or blocks and is known for holding fragrance oils well.

Industrial Uses

1. Personal Care

  • Moisturizing: Soy wax contains emollients that help retain moisture and soften the skin, making it a good choice for dry or cracked areas. 
  • Emulsifying: It helps combine oil and water-based ingredients in formulations, ensuring a consistent texture in products like lotions and creams.
  • Lip Care: Its moisturizing and smoothing properties make it ideal for lip balms and lipsticks.
  • Non-comedogenic: Soy wax is generally considered non-comedogenic, meaning it's less likely to clog pores, making it suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

2. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Binder and Carrier: Soy wax, particularly soybean oil, is used as a binder and carrier solvent in both architectural and industrial paints and coatings. 
  • Hydrophobic Nature: Its hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties enhance water resistance in coatings. 
  • Cross-linkable Double Bonds: The double bonds in soy wax contribute to film hardness, durability, and impact resistance when incorporated into coatings. 
  • Flexibility and Molecular Weight: The C18 carbon chains in soy wax provide flexibility and influence the molecular weight of the coating, affecting its overall properties. 
  • Improved Adhesion: Soy wax can improve the adhesion of coatings to various surfaces. 
  • Corrosion Inhibition: Soy-based coatings have shown promise in corrosion protection.
