method
Gathering work of Candelilla plants is continued almost year around and sap is extracted at the extraction plant from the cut back and solar dried plant. The natural wax extracted in this manner is called as “Cerote” and has dark gray color. The Cerote is then transported to the purifying plant from extraction plant to receive purifying process. Generally the term called as “Standard Product” in Mexico means the purified wax of this stage and which is not the same as the “candelilla wax” normally used in Japan as the material of cosmetics, because it is necessary to receive some more purifying processes of bleaching and deodorizing or eliminating resinic contents to satisfy the required condition for this application.
The major composition of Candelilla wax is configured from 45% of Hydrocarbon such as Hentriacontance and Trtriacontance, 29% of Ester such as Sitosterol, Dihydroxymiricinoleic acid and 26% of other ingredients such as free alcohol, free fatty acid, lactone and other resinic contents.
For the application of cosmetic products field, the Candelilla wax is blended as the material of lipstick, eye-black and eye-shadow. Furthermore for the food product application the wax is contained to various materials as basic matter of chewing gum, moisture-proof material or glazing material of candy or chocolate. Moreover, this is used as glazing, finishing agent for the various industrial applications as well as used as electric insulator or desiccating material.
About Ibotaro
Ibotaro (Ihota wax) is a wax secreted by insects belonging to the family Coccidae. Males such as scale insects grow in clusters on the branches of the Oleaceae tree when they are larvae, secrete white wax substances, and become adults from pupae in the wax mass. By scraping the wax on the branches, adding water and boiling, the heated and melted wax floats. Put the wax in a scooping mold and let it solidify.
Ibotaro is yellowish white, very hard, brittle, fibrous and crystalline translucent. It has a high melting point of about 80 to 84 ° C. It is used as a paint additive, for polishing wooden products such as paulownia boxes, and as a slipper for joinery sill such as bran.
