WHAT IS PALM WAX?

• Palm wax belongs to a group of waxes called
  vegetable wax. These vegetable waxes are made
  purely from a plant extract. Palm wax is an
  all-natural, renewable resource and suitable for
  making various types of candles. Due to its
  environmentally friendly attributes, palm wax
  offers a whole new choice for candle makers who
  market sustainable or renewable resource based
  extensions to their candle lines. But there have
  been concerns about deforestation, felling of
  other trees to grow Oil Palm trees. That's why
  recently, suppliers prefer palm wax for candles
  and oil from countries like Colombia and Brazil
  where producers use sustainable Agricultural
  methods and supply in USA, Mexico, Nigeria.

PALM WAX melting point

• Palm wax has a very high melt point and therefore
  requires a hotter flame to melt the candle this
  results in a slower burn than most other candles.
  Palm wax is an odourless, hard wax with a high
  melting point (140F). That is not the highest of
  all waxes but it means palm wax has a higher
  temperature than soy wax and low-density paraffin
  wax.

PALM WAX benefits

• Natural
• Just the fact that palm wax is natural is
  enough advantage. It is not known to release
  harmful toxins into the air and palm wax candles
  are safe to use. So, people with asthma or other
  respiratory issues that are trying to avoid
  paraffin wax would find a good alternative in
  palm wax.
• Clean Burn
• The type of wax used to make a palm wax for
  candles is part of what determines the amount of
  soot (black residue) that it would release when
  burned. All types of waxes produce soot no matter
  how little. But palm wax releases significantly
  less amount of soot compared to its main rivals
  paraffin wax and soy wax.

• Versatile
• Though most palm wax candles are container
  candles, you can actually use it to make any type
  of candle container candles, standalone candles
  (pillar and tapers), votive candles etc. Soy wax
  is more popular but it is too soft to be used to
  make a standalone candle (unless it is blended
  with another type of wax or additives are added).
  Palm wax beats it in this respect.
• Long Lasting
• Palm wax is hard and has a high melting
  point. This makes candles made with it burn
  slower and last longer than some other types of
  wax, especially soy wax
