Textiles & Leather
Bio Green Wax provides high-performance waxes and specialty coatings for the textile manufacturing and leather processing industries. Our products enhance fabric performance, improve leather quality, and optimise manufacturing processes across spinning, weaving, finishing, and leather treatment operations.
Our textile and leather product range includes Carnauba Wax, Beeswax, Rapeseed Wax, Palm Wax, Sunflower Wax, Soy Wax, Fully Refined Paraffin Wax, Semi Refined Paraffin Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Palm Stearic Acid, and Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax). These products are available in various forms including flakes, pastilles, slabs, and emulsions to suit different application methods.
In textile manufacturing, our waxes serve as essential lubricants for yarn spinning and weaving, reducing friction and breakage while improving sewability and processing speed. For fabric finishing, our products provide water repellency, softness, and anti-static properties. Palm Stearic Acid is widely used in textile softener formulations, while PE Wax enhances surface smoothness and abrasion resistance.
For leather processing, our natural waxes — particularly Carnauba, Beeswax, and Microcrystalline Wax — deliver superior waterproofing, conditioning, and polishing properties. They restore suppleness, enhance colour depth, and provide long-lasting surface protection for finished leather goods including footwear, handbags, and upholstery.
All products are supplied with technical data sheets and certificates of analysis. Our team can provide guidance on wax selection, emulsion preparation, and application techniques to help you achieve optimal results in your specific textile or leather manufacturing processes.
Products for Textiles & Leather
Carnauba Wax
Carnauba wax (CAS 8015-86-9, INCI Copernicia Cerifera Wax) is harvested from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm. Melting at 82 to 86 degrees Celsius, it is the hardest natural wax in commercial use and gives the highest gloss.
Beeswax
Beeswax (CAS 8012-89-3 yellow, 8006-40-4 white; INCI Cera Flava and Cera Alba) is secreted by worker honeybees to build comb. It melts at 61 to 65 degrees Celsius and is the reference natural wax for candles, cosmetics and polishes.
Rapeseed Wax
Rapeseed wax is hydrogenated rapeseed oil, supplied as blocks melting at 42 to 52 degrees Celsius or pellets at 52 to 60. European-grown and vegan, it has become the preferred soy alternative for candle makers sourcing within Europe.
Palm Wax
Palm wax (CAS 8021-56-5, INCI Hydrogenated Palm Oil) is hydrogenated palm oil, supplied in melting bands from 42 to 60 degrees Celsius. It is the only common vegetable wax that forms a decorative crystalline pattern as it sets.
Soy Wax
Soy wax (CAS 8016-70-4, INCI Hydrogenated Soybean Oil) is soybean oil hardened by hydrogenation. Supplied as blocks, flakes or pellets with melting points from 42 to 58 degrees Celsius, it is the default natural wax for container candles.
Fully Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C)
Fully refined paraffin wax (CAS 8002-74-2) is petroleum wax hydrotreated to below 0.5 percent oil content. Supplied in melting grades from 50 to 68 degrees Celsius, it is odourless, white and approved for food contact.
Semi Refined Paraffin Wax (50-68°C)
Semi refined paraffin wax carries 0.5 to 1.5 percent residual oil against the fully refined grade's 0.5 percent maximum. That extra oil lowers the cost and improves mould release, at the price of a faint odour and slight colour.
Microcrystalline Wax
Microcrystalline wax (CAS 63231-60-7) is petroleum wax made of branched and cyclic hydrocarbons rather than straight chains. The irregular molecules cannot pack neatly, so it forms tiny crystals and is flexible and tacky where paraffin is brittle.
Palm Stearic Acid
Palm Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid (C₁₈H₃₆O₂) derived from palm oil through hydrolysis and fractionation. It appears as a white, waxy solid with a mild odor and is one of the most common fatty acids used in industrial and consumer products.
Polyethylene Wax (PE wax)
Polyethylene wax (CAS 9002-88-4) is low molecular weight polyethylene melting between about 100 and 130 degrees Celsius. Added at one to three percent it hardens a candle, raises gloss and helps hold fragrance and colour in place.
