JarcaneTM 16 (Hexadecane) is a fast-spreading, high purity, vegetable-derived paraffin made from renewable resources. It is characterized by a sharp melting profile, solvency in liquid, high latent heat of fusion, chemical inertness, and non-tendency to
supercooling. JarcaneTM 16 is commonly used as an alternative to mineral oil. It is also an alternative choice when looking for non-polar solvents, oils, or wax additives based on renewable resources for environmentally-friendly or natural formulation concepts.
