Bayprene
Bayprene is a high-quality, synthetic rubber polymer belonging to the class of nitrile butadiene rubbers (NBR). It is widely used for its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, chemicals, and abrasion, making it ideal for sealing, gasketing, hoses, and industrial applications where durability and chemical resistance are required. Bayprene exhibits good mechanical properties, high tensile strength, and resistance to swelling and degradation, especially in petroleum-based environments. It is commonly supplied as solid rubber sheets, molded parts, or raw polymer for compounding.
Beeswax
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees of the genus Apis. It is secreted by worker bees from specialized glands and used to build honeycomb cells. Beeswax is a complex mixture of esters, fatty acids, and hydrocarbons, characterized by a pale yellow to brown color, a pleasant honey-like aroma, and a firm yet pliable texture. It has excellent emulsifying, binding, and protective properties, making it widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial applications. Beeswax is prized for its natural origin, biodegradability, and skin-friendly characteristics.
Binder
A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.
Clear Emulsion
Clear Emulsion is a transparent or translucent mixture of two immiscible liquids—typically oil and water—stabilized by emulsifying agents to form a stable, homogenous system. This product is widely used in cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial applications due to its lightweight texture, ease of absorption, and aesthetic appeal. Clear emulsions offer a visually appealing, non-greasy feel with the advantages of both oil and water phases, delivering moisturizing, protective, and active ingredient-carrying benefits. Their clarity distinguishes them from traditional creamy emulsions, making them popular in modern skincare and cosmetic formulations.
Eagle Vam Veo( VV50/55)

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, Linseed Oil is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, industrial applications, and traditional medicine. It is valued for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and skin conditioning properties, as well as its drying qualities in paints and varnishes.
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined is a vegetable oil extracted from flax seeds and then refined using alkali treatment to remove impurities, free fatty acids, and gums. This refining process enhances the oil’s stability, color, and odor, making it suitable for industrial, artistic, and manufacturing uses. It is a drying oil known for its excellent film-forming properties, quick drying time, and good adhesion to surfaces. Alkali refined linseed oil is widely used in paints, varnishes, inks, and as a raw material in chemical industries.
Short Oil Fast Drying (16/50) (SDA)
