De Monchy: a long history of supplying carnauba wax

De Monchy has imported carnauba wax for a very long time. Carnauba wax fits in with our philosophy of supplying renewable natural products. The wax is obtained from the Brazilian palm tree, Copernica Cerifera. This tree grows in the north-east of Brazil. During the harvest the leaves are removed, these have a protective wax coating: carnauba wax. The leaves regrow the next year, hence carnauba wax production is sustainable.

Carnauba wax applications

Carnauba wax is one of the hardest natural waxes. The applications carnauba wax include:

• loss agent for chocolate, liquorice and other confectionery
• coatings and adhesives
• electronics (chip production)
• shoe polish, stains and furniture and car maintenance products
• release agent for baked products
• inks
