Carnauba wax (Brazil wax) comes from leaves of the Copernicia cerifera, a South American palm tree. It melts at about 185° — 195°F, and is the hardest and toughest of the natural waxes. It consists mostly of all cerotic acid ester of myrical alcohol...

Camauba wax (also called Brazil wax or palm wax) is isolated from the leaves of the palm Copernicia prunifera (camauba palm), a plant native to northeastern part of Brazil. It has an appearance of yellow flakes. Camauba consists mostly of aliphatic esters (40.0 wt%), diesters of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (21.0 wt%), ra-hydroxycarboxylic acids (13.0 wt%), and fatty acid alcohols (12.0 wt%). These compounds are mainly derived from acids and alcohols in the C26-C30 range. Distinctive for camauba wax is the high content of methoxycinnamic acid as well as diesters. This type of wax is one of the hardest natural waxes with the highest melting point between 78°C and 86°C, but most often the melting-point range is 82°C-85°C. Like all other waxes, it is insoluble in water, but soluble on heating in ethyl acetate and in xylene, and practically insoluble in ethyl alcohol (European Pharmacopeia 6.0).

Carnauba Wax kar- n6-bo, k -no- u-bo (1854) n. Extremely hard wax obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian tree. It appears on the market in several grades, such as bleached, yellow, fatty gray, and chalky gray. The wax has the following approximate constants mp, 84°C, Sp gr, 0.998 acid value, 2 saponification value, 80 iodine value, 13. It is a constituent of wax polishes, and has some application in matt, overprinting, and baking varnishes. Its solubility is of a very low order in most varnish solvents and other constituents. Syn Brazil wax. 

Carnauba wax is also known as Brazil wax and is a wax from the leaves of Copernicia pmnifera. Ouricury wax can be obtained from the Brazilian Feather Pakn Syagrus coronata. Espar is a wine plant. Shellac is a resin from trees of India. Historically, shellac has been known as the material for gramophone records. Japan wax is obtained from the berries of certain sumac trees. It is a byproduct from the fabrication of natural lacquers.
