where does wax come from
The refinery will process the wax into a clean, clear liquid, or as a solid milky white block, and make it available to companies who may have a use for it.The refined wax is called paraffin, which comes from the Latin parum = few or without and affinis = connection or attraction (affinity).ou can get wax from bee hives and also from various plant sources. There's a tree that grows around here called the wax myrtle, and if you boil its berries wax floats to the surface of the water. This tree is found all over the east coast of the US. Before that type of wax was discovered, tallow was used.
