SUGAR CANE WAX FROM PRESS MUD
[CODE NO.3094]


     Many  substances that can be used in place of natural  waxes
as ingredients in proportions and the term "Wax" also  identifies
the  finished compositions providing the time  honoured  services
associated with waxing treatment.


     Waxes  are  widely distributed in nature  with  commercially
important representatives in each of the following
classifications :-


1.   Animal (including insects)

2.   Vegetable,   and

3.   Minerals.

     Through  chemical analysis of wax found that cane sugar  wax
and  many  other waxes had a similar molecular structure  of  the
principal compounds. The classical chemical definition of wax has
been  the  esters of fatty acids and monohydric  fatty  alcohols.
Many  other chemical structures also are common in the waxes  and
long  chain hydrocarbon compounds are particularly  important  in
the mineral wax classification. The organic structure that  cause
the water repellency and many of the other fatty  characteristics
of the waxes are the long alkyl chains.


     Sugar cane wax occurs on the surface of the cane steams,  if
the  giant grasses "Saccharam officinaracess" etc. Cultivated  in
the  production  of raw sugar. Much of the  particular  waxes  is
carried  into the juice stream in the cane crushing  and  washing
materials  and  dirt. The suspanded materials including  the  wax
separates    from  the  juice  and  concentrate  in   the   large
classifiers.  After the mud is filtered and washed  for  residual
sugar, the wax is extracted from the filter cake along with  oils
and resins by the use of solvents such as petroleum naphthates.

     Waxes  are  used in many industries for a  wide  variety  of
applications  such  a paper coating, polishes electrical
insulations, carbon papers, textiles, leather, precision  casting
pharmaceuticals etc.
