Type 3
Of this grade we offer a choice of two different qualities. This grade of wax is a derivative from the type 4 wax and both grades are produced from the wax powder obtained from the open leaves harvested from the carnauba tree. The light fatty gray grade is a wax that was filtered and refined in a process that include a first step where special fuller earths are used, and followed by another step where the wax is thoroughly bleached with a proper chemical bleaching agent. In such a process, we submit the wax to several filtrationsÆ steps, in order to attain the specified characteristics.
