What is Rice Bran Wax?
Chemical Name: Rice bran wax
CAS Registry Number: 008016-60-2
Synonyms: Waxes and Waxy substances, rice bran; Rice wax; Oryza sativa bran wax; Rice bran wax; Waxes, rice bran; Ricebran wax
Rice bran wax is a vegetable wax extracted from rice bran when extract rice oil. It is a treasure biologic wax resource in East Asia where rice is the main food. Rice wax has no odor and bleaches readily, and its impurities are easy to move. Rice bran wax is better as a coating for fruits, vegetables, confectionery and chewing gum than paraffins or petrochemical waxes, and it’s also suitable for cosmetics. Varying from tan to light brown in color, it melts between 1690 and 1810 F. It’s compatible with all other waxes, fatty acids, plant glycerides and hydrocarbons.
The main components of rice bran wax are aliphatic acid (wax acid) and higher alcohol ester. aliphatic acid contains palmitic acid (C16), behenic acid (C22), lignoceric acid (C24) and wax acid (C26) etc.; Higher alcohol contains ceryl alcohol (C26), isoerine alcohol and melichrome alcohol (C30) etc.; In addition, rice wax contains unsaponifiable constituent such as melichrome alcohol, ceryl alcohol, isoerine alcohol and some free acid (palmitic acid), a few of alcohol, squalene and phosphoric acid lipid.
Rice bran wax proved to be the best choice for 1-octacosanol,since it has higher purity and good pharmaceutical function than extracts of sugar cane wax extracts and bee wax extracts.
Rice bran wax was produced through the process of refineing dewaxed rice bran oil and the wax paste squeezed, saponificated, separateed, water washed, dry, molded. Etc.It could be widely used as the size applicator of electricity insulated material leather wood and paper, fruit preserver, furbishing applicator for furniture,floor board,casting,paraffin paper, carbon paper, shoe paste,etc.The production of high carbon aliphatic alcohol would be highly improved by using the leaching rice bran wax as raw material.
