Type 1 or PRIME YELLOW CARNAuBA WAX
This wax is a filtered and refined
product, obtained from the powder of the young leaves of the
tree and it is of a light yellow color. Of this grade we
offer 2 different choices that we designate as “Extra Light Refined Yellow Type 1 Carnauba Wax” and, the other one, “Refined Light Yellow Type 1 Carnauba Wax”. Both choices are of very light yellow colored waxes being the first one oriented for end users that require a wax of an extra light color.

Type 3 or LIGHT
FATTY GRAY CARNAUBA WAX
Of this grade we offer a choice
of two different qualities. This grade of wax is a
derivative from the Type 4 wax and both grades are produced
from the wax powder obtained from the open leaves harvested
from the carnauba tree. The Light Fatty Gray grade is a wax
that was filtered and refined in a process that include a
first step where special fuller earths are used, and
followed by another step where the wax is thoroughly
bleached with a proper chemical bleaching agent. In such a
process, we submit the wax to several filtrations’ steps, in order to attain the specified characteristics. We name our lighter Type 3 refined light fatty gray carnauba wax as “Tropical Extra Light Refined Fatty Gray Carnauba Wax” and it has a very nice clear yellow color. The standard grade of our Type 3 Carnauba wax we name simply as “Tropical Refined Light Fatty Gray Carnauba Wax” and although darker than the previous referred one, it is rather similar or better than the usually found on the market place and it is also of a good clear orange yellow color.
