1. Description
Soft Palm Wax is extracted from palm trees through the palm oil hydrogenation process and is easy to cut into smaller pieces. Its milky white color is popular because it’s easy to mix with dyes and helps save material. Soft Palm Wax tends to “sweat” and soften due to its melting point of 45°C and oil retention rate of 8%, but blending it with harder wax types helps overcome this issue.
