Description

Polawax Gp 200 is a high-purity, non-ionic emulsifying wax widely recognized for its stability and versatility in creating elegant topical formulations. Its value lies in its ability to form stable oil-in-water emulsions with a smooth, luxurious texture, which is critical for product performance and consumer acceptance. This makes it an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care industries, particularly for creams, lotions, and ointments requiring a consistent and refined finish.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
