    Red face Types of Carnauba?

    Hello everyone, I wanted to know if there is any topic about the types of carnauba, the types of grade? If there is, I couldn't find it. Greetings to all from Argentina!

    While not specific to auto detailing, informative nonetheless.

    Carnauba Wax (T1 Grade) – Ideal for Cosmetics & Personal Care Products.

    Re: Types of Carnauba?

    To my knowledge, there's 3 general categories of Carnauba wax used for car waxes,

    Number #1 Yellow Carnauba
    Number #2 Carnauba
    Ivory Carnauba


    Here's my advice, keep it simple. Pick an established brand you know and trust. Expect that this company actually did their research and put's out products that perform as advertised.

    Smile Re: Types of Carnauba?

    From what I’ve been able to gather over
    the years (no, I have never been to Brazil),
    these are the ‘main’ types of Carnauba Wax:


    #1 (T-1) Copernicia Cerifera;
    -CAS# 8015-86-9
    -Color: Light Yellow/Yellow


    #3 (T-3) Copernicia Cerifera;
    -CAS# 8015-86-9
    -Color: Darker Yellow/Light Brown


    #4 (T-4) Copernicia Cerifera;
    -CAS# 8015-86-10
    -Color: Brown


    Note:
    Manufacturers’ processing methods (Example:
    purification, bleaching, etc.) may have an effect
    on the finished products’ color(s).


    Hope this helps in some small way or t’other.

    Do you still use a lot of Carnauba waxes in your detail business in Argentina?
