Apricot wax
KSh0.01
Apricot wax refers to a natural wax derived from the fruit kernel (seed) of the apricot tree, scientifically known as Prunus armeniaca. It is obtained through a process of cold-pressing or solvent extraction of the kernel, followed by purification and filtration.
Apricot wax is characterized by its pale yellow to light brown color and a solid, waxy consistency at room temperature. It contains various beneficial components, such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and esters, which contribute to its unique properties.
Due to its emollient and moisturizing qualities, apricot wax is commonly used in the cosmetic and personal care industry as an ingredient in skincare products, lip balms, creams, lotions, and hair care formulations. It helps to nourish and soften the skin, enhance product texture, provide a protective barrier, and improve the overall sensory experience.
Apricot wax is preferred by some individuals and manufacturers due to its natural origin, as it is obtained from a fruit source and does not require chemical processing. Its use aligns with the growing demand for natural and sustainable ingredients in various consumer products.
Calcium Carbonate (uncoated)
Uncoated calcium carbonate refers to a natural mineral substance that is composed of calcium carbonate without any additional coatings or surface treatments. It is a white, powdery material that is commonly used in various industrial applications, including the manufacture of paper, paints, plastics, and rubber products, as well as in construction, agriculture, and the food and pharmaceutical industries. Uncoated calcium carbonate is typically mined from natural deposits of limestone or chalk and is often ground into fine particles to achieve the desired particle size and purity for specific applications
Fully Refined Paraffin Wax 50 kg
Fully refined paraffin wax is a type of wax that has undergone a refining process to remove impurities and unwanted components. It is a white, odorless, and tasteless wax that is solid at room temperature and has a relatively low melting point.
The refining process involves several steps, including solvent extraction, deoiling, and bleaching. Solvent extraction involves dissolving the crude wax in a solvent, which separates the wax from other components such as oil and grease. Deoiling involves removing any remaining oil and grease from the wax through vacuum distillation. Bleaching involves removing any remaining color or odor from the wax through the use of chemical agents.
Fully refined paraffin wax is commonly used in a variety of applications, including candle making, coating materials, packaging, and cosmetics. Its properties, such as its low melting point and ability to retain fragrance and color, make it a popular choice in these industries
High Temperature Grease

Renolit mp 2,3
Sodium Diphenylamin Sulphonate
Sodium diphenylamine sulfonate (SDS) is a chemical compound used primarily as an antioxidant in various industries, including the rubber and petroleum sectors. It helps prevent oxidation and degradation of materials by acting as a stabilizer. SDS is also utilized in some water treatment processes to inhibit corrosion.
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.
