what is rice bran wax?
A Natural, Sustainable Alternative to Carnauba Wax
Rice bran wax (RBW) is a natural vegetable wax extracted from the outer layers of rice grains (Oryza sativa) during rice bran oil processing. With a melting point of 77–86°C, excellent gloss, and a renewable carbon index exceeding 98%, it serves as a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative to carnauba and paraffin waxes across multiple industries.
