Candeuba: Best of Two Worlds

Candeuba is a special formulation, developed by Multiceras purely on a vegetable basis, constituted mainly by Candelilla wax and synthetic esters of vegetable origin, which are supplemented by homopolymers of intermediate molecular weight. The Candeuba name derives from the fusion of two words - Candelilla and Carnauba – with the aim of making reference to a wax mainly constituted by the most valuable properties of the two vegetable waxes widely used in industrial applications.
