Abstract: Furniture wax is widely used for polishing paint surfaces of cabinets, refrigerators, pianos, furniture, floors, etc. There are many types of furniture wax. Generally, furniture wax is divided according to its composition. Common types of furniture wax include beeswax, palm wax, scented wax, paraffin wax, Sichuan wax, etc. The following is a detailed introduction to what furniture wax is, as well as the types and ingredients of furniture wax. Let’s take a look. 1. What is furniture wax

Furniture wax is a tool used for polishing paint surfaces such as furniture and floors. It can quickly and completely remove stubborn stains and dirt on the surface of furniture, remove slight scratches and grinding marks on the surface, and form a shiny protective film on the surface of the furniture, making the furniture appear smoother and brighter in color. Furniture wax is widely used for polishing paint surfaces of cabinets, refrigerators, pianos, furniture, floors, etc.

2. What are the types and ingredients of furniture wax

1. Beeswax

Beeswax is solid at room temperature and needs to be heated and melted before use. Beeswax is a substance secreted by four pairs of wax glands under the abdomen of worker bees. Its main components are: acids, free fatty acids, free fatty alcohols and carbohydrates. In addition, there are carotenoids, vitamin A, aromatic substances, etc.

2. Palm wax

Carnauba wax is divided into white brown and yellow brown. White and brown have the highest value. Each type of brown wax is divided into first, second and third grades according to its purity. The highest level of purity is 100-purity brown wax. Due to its high cost, most of the so-called "brown wax" or "natural ingredients" only contain less than 5% of yellow brown, and the other ingredients are mainly paraffin wax. The higher the brown wax content, the higher the quality of the wax.

3. Fragrance wax

Fragrance wax is a top-grade natural wax that brings the essence of nature indoors and completes the transformation from "people nourish solid wood" to "solid wood nourishes people" The concept is innovative, but the cost is higher. The so-called "top quality" means that on the basis of pure natural ingredients, pure natural plant spices are added to achieve the effect of "mutual maintenance" between home and people. For example, pure natural lavender fragrance, sandalwood, etc. have a special calming effect on people. Adding these pure natural spices to wood care products not only maintains the wood, but also adjusts the living atmosphere and brings a natural scent to the living environment. Scented wax has a natural aroma that can soothe the mind and regulate the breath, and is suitable for furniture maintenance in private spaces at home.

4. Paraffin wax

Paraffin wax is a kind of mineral wax and a kind of petroleum wax; it is the lubricating oil fraction obtained from crude oil distillation through solvent refining, solvent dewaxing or Wax paste is obtained by freezing crystallization of wax and dewaxing by pressing, and then deoiled by solvent and refined to obtain flaky or needle-shaped crystals. Also known as crystalline wax, it is a hydrocarbon mixture with approximately 8 to 30 carbon atoms. Paraffin wax is hard and easy to break and has the lowest price. Beeswax has high viscosity, high flexibility and strong stain resistance, and is the second most expensive.

5. Sichuan wax

Sichuan wax, also known as insect wax, is a biological wax. It is the wax secreted by the white wax worm on the parasitic privet tree or ash branches. This secretion is scraped from the tree and dissolved in hot water to skim off the wax, which is then melted and filtered for refinement and, if necessary, bleached. Sichuan wax (insect wax) is white to slightly yellow, with a smooth and shiny surface, no obvious impurities, hard and brittle, and a horse-shaped cross section with a shiny and waxy smell. 82-84 degrees. 685-926.00.3 Chemical separation of main ingredients They are: alkyl acids, trigonal acid, trigonal alcohol, hydrocarbon compounds, resins, etc. Sichuan wax has high strength, high melting point, good fluidity and luster, but is brittle and has a large shrinkage rate, and is also the most expensive.
