Description
Beeswaxes can be soft or brittle with colors ranging from light yellow to dark brown. The darker varieties are often bleached by exposure to light and air or with chemicals. Beeswax has been used as a protective coating, in etching, for candles, adhesives, paint binder, polish, in encaustic, leather dressing, cosmetics, and to modify paint.
