Sugarcane wax, also called as cerosin, originally adheres to the out layer of sugarcane stem tegument. After sugarcane stem is squeezed in sugar mill, about 60% sugarcane wax remains in bagasse. The wax has been extracted after filtering the bagasse. On the basis of no destroying the inherent property, we processed superior refined sugarcane wax by utilizing unique refining techniques. Sugarcane wax can be used as the substitute for carnauba wax and as glazing agent for processing pharmaceutical, foodstuff, cosmetic and leather, etc.
