Hydrogenated from palm oil, palm wax or stearic wax is an organic wax with low melting point 50°C. If used as Batik wax, it helps in deep penetration into the fabric for better dye resist. Stearic wax is use to formulate crackle wax for batik. Brush on molten stearic wax on fabric. Lightly crumble fabric when wax is cooled for the crackle effect in batik or tie dye.
Palm stearic wax blend well with soywax to cast organic candles for much longer burning as pillar candles. Both palm and soywax oil content is as high as 99%. Palm stearic on its own in candle casting can result in crystalline texture. R&D is much required for crystal effect as other additives in candle science should be considered as well.
Color vary from off white to tint of pink/beige.
