What is in AQUACER 570?
AQUACER 570 is made from sunflower wax that is collected from sunflower seeds which are naturally coated with a fine layer of wax. This delicate flower wax is collected using a gentle refining process. It is then modified to ensure optimal properties for leather care.
How does AQUACER 570 Compare?
AQUACER 570 outperformed paraffin wax, carnauba wax, beeswax, montane ester wax and HDPE across the board with a significant increase in hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and rain fastness. While it polishes well, AQUACER 570 is a relatively hard wax compared to other natural waxes. It offers nearly 300% more hydrophobicity than other natural waxes based on industrial standard test methods.
