Overview

E907 - Hydrogenated poly-1-decene

Hydrogenated poly-1-decene (E907) is a food-grade synthetic wax used mainly to coat or glaze foods. It helps give products a smooth, shiny surface and keeps pieces from sticking together during storage and transport.

E912 - Montanic acid esters

Montanic acid esters (E912) are food-grade waxy compounds used to polish and protect the surface of certain foods. They give candies and other items a smooth, glossy finish and help keep pieces from sticking together. In the European Union (EU), they are authorized as a glazing agent under specific rules.

Popular questions

What is micro crystalline wax?
Microcrystalline wax is a petroleum-derived wax with very small crystals (food additive E905c) used for protective and glazing coatings; it’s related to but distinct from E907 (hydrogenated poly‑1‑decene), a synthetic hydrocarbon wax used as a food glazing agent.
How to use renaissance micro crystalline wax polish?
It isn’t a food additive; apply a very thin coat to a clean, dry surface, let it haze, then buff to a shine—avoid food-contact uses and follow the product’s instructions.
Renaissance micro-crystalline wax polish how to use?
Wipe on an extremely thin film with a soft cloth, allow a light haze, then buff; use in ventilation and do not apply to items that will contact food.
State why paraffin wax of small crystalline structure is important?
Fine-crystal (microcrystalline) waxes form tougher, smoother, glossier films that resist cracking and moisture, which improves the performance of food coatings and glazes; hydrocarbon wax glazes such as E907 take advantage of these properties for even, durable finishes.
What can you do with renaissance micro crystalline wax polish?
Use it to protect and add sheen to metals, wood, leather, and stone in conservation or household settings; it isn’t intended for food contact or as a food additive like E907.
