Description

Ceresin Wax CAS NO 8001-75-0 is a refined, high-melting point hydrocarbon wax derived from ozokerite, valued for its excellent hardness, gloss, and water-repellent properties. This versatile material is crucial for enhancing the texture, stability, and performance of formulations across diverse industrial sectors. It is an essential component for manufacturers in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food packaging, and industrial coatings seeking reliable consistency and purity.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Key ingredient in lipsticks, creams, pomades, and mascaras to provide structure, gloss, and emollient properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a stiffening agent and base in ointments, salves, and suppositories for controlled release and stability.
• Food & Packaging: Employed in food-grade coatings, cheese rind coatings, and as a release agent or glazing agent.
• Candles & Polishes: Improves hardness, burn time, and finish in specialty candles, shoe polishes, and automotive waxes.
• Electrical & Electronics: Acts as an impregnating and insulating wax in capacitors and electrical components.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Modifies rheology and improves water resistance in hot-melt adhesives and sealing compounds.
• Art & Modeling: Used in sculpting, modeling waxes, and as a binder in crayons and colored pencils.
• Textile & Leather: Applied in waterproofing and finishing treatments for fabrics and leather goods.
