Abstract

The plant waxes are used in many different applications in the industries. The application of waxes for any particular industries depends on their properties. In this study the two plant waxes namely Carnauba and Candelilla waxes had been studied for their properties like melting point, needle penetration, drop melting point, flash point, viscosities and densities. The testing were carried out as per ASTM standards. These properties were correlated with the results obtained from the DSC and FT-IR data.
