Bleached wax

Acid mixtures are used to oxidize and remove the dark materials. Proper control gives a series of bleached waxes. A white wax requires double refining and reduces the yield to about 30% of the cmde wax input. A series of synthetic waxes is prepared by separating the acids and alcohols produced during saponification of the wax and reesterifying them with acids or alcohols selected to give desired properties of hardness, solubiHty, emulsification, and gloss. 

Shellac, Bleached, Wax-Free, occurs as an amorphous, light yellow, granular resin. It is obtained from lac, the resinous secretion of the insect Laccifer (Tachardia) lacca Kerr (Fam. Coccidae). Shellac, Bleached, Wax-Free, is obtained by the same process as that described in the monograph for Bleached Shellac, except that, in addition, wax is removed by filtration. Its solubility is the same as that of Bleached Shellac. Shellac, Bleached, Wax-Free, is usually dissolved in a suitable solvent for application to food products. 

Identification Shellac, Bleached, Wax-Free, responds to the Identification Test in the monograph for Bleached Shellac. Acid Value Between 75 and 91.
