Because this wax is edible, it is used to coat things such as floss, candies and gum. It is also used to polish cars and surfboards.  

Palm wax is an ideal material for making candles. With a higher melting point than other waxes, it does not melt from hot summer temperatures. Palm wax takes color and fragrance well. It also mixes with other waxes well, resulting in versatility for shapes, scents and texture.    Palm wax also has high contraction, meaning that when it cools, it will pull away from the edges of a mold and make for easier extraction. Because palm wax burns cleanly, it makes for better food-warmer candles than other waxes. Palm wax is available in different grades and softness, usually coming from suppliers in beads for easy melting.
