Soy wax is a renewable vegetable-based wax produced from refined soybean oil. It comes in clean white to off-white flakes, pastilles, or slabs and offers consistent melting behaviour and excellent formulation stability. Fully biodegradable and non-toxic, it is widely chosen as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based waxes and is available in multiple grades tailored for container, pillar, and massage candle production.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Soy Wax (CAS 8016-70-4) to customers in more than 40 countries.
