You can't imagine how present we are in your day-to-day life
You would be surprised to discover how waxes play a fundamental role in your daily life. Typically, when we think of waxes, we immediately envision candle making or floor polishing. This is due to a history that dates back to the Middle Ages when candles were meticulously crafted from waxy materials like beeswax or saturated fats. Even our grandmothers used to give floors a shine using traditional floor polishers.
However, waxes have multiple applications. They have the incredible ability to emulsify and disperse in different media, including polar solvents, nonpolar solvents, and even water, in various particle sizes. They act as additives that impart special properties to the surfaces of the substrates they are applied to. Waxes play an essential role in virtually everything that surrounds us.
The chart on the side provides a comprehensive overview of the numerous applications of waxes in our everyday lives, highlighting how these versatile materials subtly shape our daily routines.
