Technical Profile of Type 3 Carnauba Wax Flakes

Type 3 carnauba wax is characterized by its distinct physical properties, often assessed by parameters such as melting range, acid value, and saponification value. Our Type 3 flakes typically exhibit a Gardner color range of 8.10–10.50, serving as a reliable benchmark for industrial buyers who require a specific visual and chemical consistency in their formulations. These parameters are essential for maintaining quality control across various manufacturing applications, from coatings to polishes.

While these standard technical indicators provide a foundation for selection, individual production batches may vary. We recommend that technical and quality control teams review the specific data for each lot to ensure compliance with internal requirements. Providing your team with the most current technical documentation is a priority, and we encourage you to request the latest technical data sheets and analytical information to confirm suitability for your specific technical environment.
