Abstract
Commercialization of guayule holds promise not only as an additional s ource of natural rubber but also for the utilization of its byproducts viz. wax, resin and bagasse. Hence interest in guayule has been reviv ed once again. The present paper discusses the isolation, characteriza tion and possible applications of one of the byproducts - guayule wax.
