Production Method of Candelilla Wax

 Production Method of Candelilla Wax

Candelilla Wax, also known as small candle tree wax, is a natural plant wax primarily derived from the leaves, stems, and branches of the small candle tree (Euphorbia antisyphilitica or E. Cerifera). Below is the production method of candelilla wax:



Production Steps

  1. Raw Material Collection: Collect leaves, stems, and branches from the small candle tree as raw materials.
  2. Soaking Extraction: Immerse the collected raw materials in hot water containing sulfuric acid. The role of sulfuric acid is to help release the wax from the plant tissue.
  3. Wax Ascension: During the soaking process, the wax will gradually rise to the water surface.
  4. Skimming the Wax: Use a tool to skim off the floating wax.
  5. Refinement Processing: Refine the skimmed wax to remove impurities and undesirable components, improving its purity and quality.

Precautions

  1. Sulfuric Acid Concentration: The concentration of sulfuric acid has a significant impact on the extraction efficiency. It needs to be controlled within a certain range to ensure sufficient wax release and extraction efficiency.
  2. Soaking Time: The length of soaking time also affects the extraction efficiency. It needs to be determined based on the type and quantity of raw materials as well as the required wax quality.
  3. Refinement Process: During the refinement process, attention should be paid to conditions such as temperature, pressure, and filtration to ensure the quality and stability of the final product.

Environmental Protection and Safety

During the production of candelilla wax, attention should be paid to environmental protection and safety issues. The use of chemical substances such as sulfuric acid needs to strictly comply with relevant safety regulations to prevent harm to the environment and personnel. Additionally, waste disposal needs to meet environmental protection requirements to avoid polluting the environment.

In summary, the production method of candelilla wax includes raw material collection, soaking extraction, wax ascension, skimming the wax, and refinement processing. During the production process, attention should be paid to conditions such as sulfuric acid concentration, soaking time, and refinement process to ensure the quality and stability of the final product. At the same time, environmental protection and safety issues should also be considered to ensure that the production process complies with relevant regulations and standards.

Tinuvin 1130: An Excellent UV Absorber

 In the field of the chemical industry, UV absorbers play a crucial role, particularly in protecting materials from UV damage. Today, we will delve into a highly regarded UV absorber—Tinuvin 1130. Tinuvin 1130 : chemical name: 3-(3-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butyl phenyl)propionic acid polyethylene glycol 300 ester; CAS login number: 104810-48-2. This product is an exceptional UV absorber that offers numerous benefits due to its unique properties. One of the standout features of Tinuvin 1130 is its excellent weather resistance. It has a strong ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, particularly those with wavelengths ranging from 290-400nm. This effectively prevents coatings, plastics, rubber, and other materials from being damaged by UV rays, thereby maintaining the performance and appearance stability of these materials and extending their service life. In addition, Tinuvin 1130 exhibits good compatibility. It is easy to emulsify in water-based systems and can be...

Air-cooled Xenon Lamp Aging Tester

  The air-cooled xenon lamp aging tester is a device that uses an air-cooled system to dissipate heat and a xenon lamp to simulate ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light in natural sunlight to perform accelerated aging tests on materials. It is commonly used in industries such as automobiles, coatings, plastics, rubber, and textiles. It can evaluate the aging resistance of materials under the combined effects of long-term light, temperature, humidity and other environmental factors in a relatively short period of time, helping companies improve product quality, extend service life, and optimize product anti-aging formulas and processes. Structural composition:  The main body is a test chamber, equipped with a xenon lamp and a matching optical filter system to simulate sunlight of different wavelengths, as well as temperature, humidity, lighting time and other control and adjustment devices, as well as an observation window and a sample rack. Working principle: The...

The Structure of Hexapod Tumble Tester

The Hexapod Tumbler Tester is a popular apparatus used in the evaluation of the appearance retention of carpets. Drum – constructed of Nylon or other like material and capped by a lid that is secured by a latching device. The drum and lid have a locating groove to hold the specimen backing sheet flat to the inner wall of the drum. A photograph of a typical drum is show in Photograph 1 and Photograph 2. The drum dimensions are:   Internal Diameter: 12 ± 0.18 in. (302 ± 5mm) Wall Thickness :0.3 in. approx. (8 mm approx.) Internal Depth: 8.2 ± 0.2 in. (207 ± 5 mm)  Driving System - cradles the drum on rollers and keeps the axis of the drum level, and rotates the drum at 35 ± 2 rpm (3.6 ± 0.2 rad/s). The driving direction reverses after approximately 500 revolutions.  After the 500 rotations the unit will stop and stand stationary for approximately 5 to 15 seconds, then begin rotating in the opposite direction. After 2000 rotations the unit will stop and w...
