Beeswax
Beeswax is a natural substance produced by honeybees. It is a waxy material secreted by worker bees and used to build the walls and cells of honeycombs in the beehive. Beeswax is typically a yellowish-brown or white solid that has a distinctive honey-like scent. It consists primarily of esters, fatty acids, and hydrocarbons.
In addition to its role in constructing the hive, beeswax has various practical applications outside the hive. It is commonly used in the production of candles, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a coating for certain food items. Beeswax is valued for its versatility, as it provides a natural and renewable ingredient with properties such as moisture resistance, flexibility, and a slow-burning nature.
Cobalt Octoate 10% 200kg Drum
Cobalt octoate is a chemical compound that consists of cobalt ions (Co2+) bound to octoate ions (also known as octanoate ions, C8H15O2-). It is often used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, particularly those involving the curing of unsaturated polyester resins and the polymerization of vinyl chloride. Cobalt octoate can also be used in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks.
In its pure form, cobalt octoate appears as a dark blue liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in a variety of organic solvents and is typically sold as a solution in mineral spirits or other solvents. The concentration of cobalt octoate in these solutions can vary depending on the intended use, with concentrations typically ranging from 1% to 12%.

Stearic Acid (Triple Pressed) 25kg
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C18H36O2. It is a solid, waxy substance that is odorless and tasteless. Stearic acid is commonly found in natural fats and oils, such as animal fats (beef, pork, and chicken) and vegetable oils (such as coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter).
Stearic acid is widely used in various industries and applications. In the food industry, it serves as a food additive and is commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It can be found in a variety of food products, including baked goods, confectionery, margarine, and chocolate.
Outside of the food industry, stearic acid has many applications. It is used in the production of candles, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and lubricants. It is also utilized as a coating for pills and tablets in the pharmaceutical industry.
From a chemical perspective, stearic acid belongs to the class of fatty acids, which are long-chain carboxylic acids. It is called a saturated fatty acid because its carbon chain is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, meaning it does not contain any carbon-carbon double bonds. This saturation gives stearic acid its solid form at room temperature and makes it less prone to rancidity compared to unsaturated fats.
Overall, stearic acid is a versatile compound with various industrial applications, primarily as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and lubricant.
Talcum Powder (Talc) 50kg Bag
Talcum powder is a fine, white powder made from talc, a naturally occurring mineral composed mainly of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is widely used in various cosmetic and personal care products for its ability to absorb moisture, reduce friction, and provide a silky-smooth texture.
