Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax emulsion (concentrate) is a wax obtained from the leaves of the palm tree, which grows in Brazil. A thin layer of wax forms a water-repellent layer on the leaves and protects them from drying out in the hot sun. Because of the extreme conditions, it is the most durable wax known to exist in nature. On floors, carnauba wax is used to reinforce oiled surfaces, but it is also used in glazes and for the maintenance of wooden floors. As well as providing oil, the wax fills the pores in the wood surface and forms a protective layer against dirt and water. At the same time, the waxed floor remains open to the movement of water vapour, which is important for maintaining the natural look of a wooden floor. Carnauba wax is transparent with a subtle beige undertone. We can add mineral powder pigments to the wax as required to achieve a glazed transparent finish.
