Wax is a versatile and ubiquitous substance essential in various aspects of our daily lives. It is a complex organic compound composed of long-chain hydrocarbons, with carbon atoms typically ranging from 20 to 40. It is available in natural and synthetic forms, and its physical properties can vary widely depending on its source and processing methods. In nature, wax is commonly found in plants and animals. For instance, beeswax is produced by honeybees to build their honeycombs which are employed in candle making, cosmetics, and even as a wood polish. Additionally, carnauba wax is derived from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree and is often utilized in automobile waxes and various industrial applications due to its high melting point and glossy finish. Synthetic waxes are produced by refining crude oil, which serves numerous purposes in modern industries to produce coatings, adhesives, polishes, and additives to modify their consistency and performance. It also can repel water and provide a protective layer, making it invaluable in formulating waterproofing agents and food packaging materials. Nowadays, it is gaining immense traction across the region.
