CPC v2.1 Code: 2193

About vegetable waxes (other than triglycerides), whether or not refined or coloured; degras; residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances or animal or vegetable waxes

cpc code 2193 covers a diverse range of vegetable-based waxes and related products. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from cosmetics and personal care to candle-making and polishing applications. As a versatile and renewable resource, the global vegetable wax market continues to grow, driven by increasing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based waxes.

Production process

Vegetable waxes are typically extracted from the leaves, fruits, or other parts of various plant species. Common production methods include solvent extraction, pressing, and distillation. The specific techniques used depend on the type of wax and the desired properties, such as melting point, hardness, and color. Refining and purification processes may also be employed to remove impurities and enhance the quality of the final product.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of vegetable waxes include a range of plant-based raw materials, such as 0126 Oleaginous fruits, 0127 Oil seeds and oleaginous nuts, and 0129 Other oil-bearing crops. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized extraction and processing equipment, as well as energy sources and various chemicals for refining and purification.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the vegetable wax industry include a diverse array of wax products, such as 2193 (Vegetable waxes (other than triglycerides), whether or not refined or coloured), 1516 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, boiled, oxidized, dehydrated, sulphurized, blown, polymerized by heat in vacuum or in inert gas or otherwise chemically modified; inedible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils of this heading, not elsewhere specified or included, and 2029 Degras; residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances or animal or vegetable waxes. These outputs are widely used in the production of cosmetics, candles, polishes, and a variety of other products.
