Beeswax is a natural lipid secreted by honeybees, primarily composed of esters of fatty acids and long-chain alcohols. The CAS 8006-19-7 defines its chemical identity, with a general molecular formula approximating C25H50O2. Industrial processing involves melting, filtering, and bleaching to ensure purity for manufacturing.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight to prevent oxidation. While generally safe, inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation; appropriate PPE including masks and gloves is recommended during handling.
