candelilla wax (vegetable wax, <wax by composition or origin>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Yellowish-brown wax exuded from the leaves and stems of Euphorbia antisyphilitica, native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is hard, brittle, aromatic, opaque to translucent, and has little tack. Candelilla wax is obtained by boiling the leaves and stems in water and sulfuric acid. It is composed of hydrocarbons, with smaller amounts of esters and triterpenoids. It is an all-purpose wax used for leather dressing, polishes, cements, Ebonite varnishes, candles, sealing wax, paper sizing, waterproofing, metal casting, and insect-proofing. Candelilla wax resembles carnauba wax but is less hard. Because it blends with other waxes and is less costly, candelilla wax is often used as an extender. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 原產於墨西哥與美國西南部的蠟大戟葉片與莖所分泌之黃棕色的蠟,質硬而脆、氣味芳香、呈不透明到半透明狀、黏性極低。小燭樹蠟是將葉片與莖置於水與硫酸中煮沸而得,其成分有碳氫化合物,以及少量的酯類與三萜類化合物,是多用途的蠟,可用於皮革保養劑、擦亮劑、水泥、硬橡膠清漆、蠟燭、封蠟、紙面上膠、防水劑、金屬鑄造以及防蟲劑。小燭樹蠟類似巴西棕櫚蠟,但硬度較低,由於可與其他蠟融合而且成本較低,故常用來作為增量劑。 |
